Today, Gensler is proud to celebrate the beginning of a brand-new arena experience at Capital One Arena. Together with Monumental Sports & Entertainment, Clark Construction Group, and CAA ICON, we’re blending innovation, history, and community to reimagine what an arena can be. Drawing inspiration from the L’Enfant Plan, this project transforms the historic heart of DC into a vibrant, walkable urban core. The new People’s Plaza will serve as a year-round civic space, bridging the Mall to Shaw and honoring DC’s legacy as a central meeting place. The design takes cues from the Portrait Gallery to create a façade that unites the arena with its surroundings while energizing the entertainment district. For fans, enhancements cater to all demographics, ensuring accessibility, comfort, and engagement for everyone. Expect social decks with views of the arena floor on multiple levels, larger concourses, more dwell space with new food & beverage options, new seating opportunities for all levels of guests, and enhanced technology throughout the venue. Upgrades for the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals include larger locker rooms, expanded recovery areas with cutting-edge hydrotherapy pools, player lounges, and so much more. This is more than a renovation—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and innovation. We’re proud to shape the future of this iconic space in the heart of DC. Let’s build something monumental together!
