Trust for the National Mall

The Trust for the National Mall will host the National Mall Design Competition Networking Session on Wednesday, November 16.  The event will provide an opportunity for small businesses, contractors and other members of the Greater Washington community to network and explore partnerships with the Stage II finalists.

Consistent with the National Mall Plan's priorities, the National Mall Design Competition will result in beautiful, useful and sustainable redesigns for Union Square, Sylvan Theatre at the Washington Monument and Constitution Gardens. 
 
Stage II finalists are required to assemble complete design teams capable of executing the project design and related construction administration services.  The Networking Session will help the finalists identify Washington-area small businesses and contractors to join their teams.  These individuals will provide valuable local perspective, pride and experience that will play a crucial role in the design and completion of the teams’ work.
