Children’s National Research at Walter Reed

The new Children’s National Hospital pediatric research and innovation campus is home to state-of-the-art labs, device development facilities, a 300-seat conference theatre, and incubator space for promising start-ups. The one-of-a-kind site will also house the clinical services of the hospital’s complex and rare genetic diseases institute and provide a range of primary care for children and adolescents staffed by a diverse team of professionals.

The 160,000 square-foot project was funded and constructed by wide ranging private and public interests, including companies, universities, federal agencies, academic medical centers, and medical advisors, and community advocates.  The result is a globally leading facility that not only achieves its mission of improving health outcomes and providing quality health care experiences for children, but also brings an estimated neighborhood impact of $6B.
