Soon GU's campus plan comes before the BZA, with citizen involvement to date via designated representatives from area associations meeting monthly to work through a list of questions from the plan as filed with BZA January 2000. This  workgroup process has certainly clarified many details, such as the total number of students - not just those full-time undergraduates that meet certain criteria. As we did with MVC, there is now is also a baseline calendar history when sports and arts events occur, with the concern being scheduling to avoid peak-hours PM traffic.

One concern here is simply - what is the optimum size of student body for this campus? GU are having to commit to build larger dorm rooms than in the past, provide less-crowded offices to attract quality academic staff, and needing larger teaching spaces for high-tech communications. Yet GU still is planning to expand by 500 students over ten years, in order to pay for all this and not have their tuition be non-competitive with e.g. Brown and Penn

GU continues to lose green space through this expansion, such that Soccer teams will need to practice in Cabin John, although GU did earlier try to buy Ellington Field (used by Boys & Girls Club and Wilson High) and Hardy Field (used by City Snickers and Stoddert leagues).
