Join AIA|DC's Fellows Public Program Committee for a roundtable panel discussion with the Master Plan Architect, the City of Washington, and the Stadium Architects to discuss the processes and challenges associated with redeveloping RFK Stadium into a new mixed-use neighborhood that will include a new stadium for the Washington Commanders.
This project is in its early stages; the evening's focus will be on the processes that have brought us to today and on how this team will work together going forward. This is much more than a new stadium; it's a whole new mixed-use neighborhood.

Matt Bell, FAIA, Perkins Eastman. Master Plan Architect
Gilles Stucker, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Government of the District of Columbia, Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning & Economic Development
Brian Hanlon, AIA, Director DC Department of Buildings, Project Executive
