Public and private universities from across the country are racing to open satellite campuses around the White House and the U.S. Capitol, transforming empty office space in the nation’s capital into a public policy mega-campus.
In Dupont Circle recently, Princeton University launched its School of Public and International Affairs at a rooftop gala on May 10, and the University of Southern California celebrated the opening of its USC Capital Campus at an April event that featured the Trojan marching band.
Non-local universities now occupy roughly 1 million square feet in the District and have gobbled up property in an otherwise “challenging market for office space,” according to Jones Lang LaSalle, a commercial real estate firm offering market analyses and listings for the startup campuses. Others lease administrative offices to support students studying in the District through partnerships with local internship programs.
“At first, it started fairly small, for students interested in public service and politics,” Brian Swarts, director of Pepperdine’s Washington DC Program, said in an email. “Over time, as the global vision of the university and our students has grown, so has Pepperdine’s presence in D.C.” Offering a “Washington, D.C. experience” helps Syracuse compete for students as fewer high school graduates attend college and universities face the prospect of bankruptcy, he added in an email.
