grand ballroom, a 3,100-square-foot continental ballroom. a 2,400-square-foot
lobby and reception area, a 12,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, and
four individual meeting rooms — was paid for in part by a $1 million
grant from the Cafritz Foundation.
“The Cafritz Foundation is delighted to join with GW to upgrade
and expand the Marvin Center, a facility that has become the heart of
this vibrant downtown university and an integral part of the surrounding
community,” said Calvin Cafritz, president and CEO of the
Cafritz Foundation.
