[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that GDS takes quite seriously it's stewardship responsibility for development of the Wisconsin property.  It's hard to imagine GDS permitting any retail that does not reflect well on the school's reputation.  The early plans are exciting in that the Davenport St "right of way" will be opened as a viewshed, a kind of gateway, from Wisconsin the the front door of GDS, as framed by the new mixed use. No longer will the school be hidden behind a used car lot or blah apartment buildings, as is the case today in Tenleytown and in Palisades.  Instead GDS will have a prominent presence on one of the major thoroughfares into DC.  People walking or driving by on Wisconsin will be able to see and recognize the campus.[/quote]

A viewshed to the campus is very different than, you know, the campus.

It's more of a symbolic connection but symbolism can be important.  St. Albans and Sidwell are set back from Wisconsin Av also.[/quote]
