Dear Mr. Hunter:
The staff of the Commission of Fine Arts has reviewed the final design for the new building and landscape for the new shelter at 1201 New York Avenue, NE, and determined that the design is consistent with the previous recommendations of the Commission and has no objections to the final design for the project. With the authority delegated by the Commission at its meeting of 20 February 2025, we approve the final plans for the project, as documented in the materials received 1 May 2025.
The Commission looks forward to the construction of this important new facility. As always, the staff is available to assist you with future submissions.
Sincerely,
