Community Anchors

Delivered in 2018, the Marvin Gaye Recreation Center features a music room, teaching kitchen, art gallery space, tech lounge, and fitness center.
In 2015, the University of the District of Columbia partnered with District and federal agencies, local organizations, and residents to convert a three-acre site at East Capitol Street and Southern Avenue into the East Capitol Urban Farm. The Farm has become a multi-functional community asset featuring: a community garden, an aquaponics facility, a community-centered farmers market, and green infrastructure, including rain gardens, and other environmental practices.
