Status of George Mason University Phase III, and Memorandum of Understanding
In August 1994, Arlington and George Mason University (GMU) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), partly due to GMU’s exempt status from the County’s customary land use approval process. This MOU memorializes the understanding between the County and GMU with respect to development of the site, and designation and eventual allocation of funds through bond issues. In total, the MOU envisions this portion of the Arlington campus to grow to become as large as 750,000 square feet GFA with 1,100 parking spaces, in 3 phases. After Phases I and II which have been completed to date, the GMU campus has the potential for an additional remaining 371,415 sq. ft. of GFA per MOU. Source
