The White House has
unveiled plans for a new permanent event space on its
historic grounds. Intended to address long-standing spatial limitations for large-scale ceremonial functions, the proposed White House State Ballroom will provide a venue with an expanded capacity. McCrery Architects, a
Washington-based firm recognized for its work in
classical architecture, has been appointed as lead
architect. Clark Construction will oversee the build, with engineering support provided by
AECOM. The construction is scheduled to begin in September 2025, with completion planned within the current administration.
