Basic Science Second Floor Renovation Project
Advancing Sciences at GUMC
Project Overview
After years of planning and thoughtful contributions from GUMC community members, renovations began in September 2025 at the Basic Science Building (2nd floor) on the Medical Center campus to build state-of-the art laboratories, modular open spaces, and beautiful interiors incorporating sophisticated Georgetown branding.
This webpage is designed to provide updates during the renovations, which are expected to be completed in the Fall 2026. We appreciate the community’s continued support and understanding as some aspects of construction can temporarily create disruption. We encourage you to explore this landing page for the project plan and building impacts, and contact information if any issues or concerns arise.
