After outgrowing its original space in DC’s Penn Quarter, the International Spy Museum sought a new and iconic site that could meet the needs of a world-class facility. Its new 141,055-SF space in L’Enfant Plaza achieves the organization’s goal to showcase the largest collection of espionage artifacts while supporting its mission to educate the public on how intelligence has changed the course of history in an engaging and interactive way. The site also presented a unique opportunity for community impact, connecting the underutilized two-mile stretch between the National Mall and the new Wharf DC development.
