White House East Wing Ballroom Expansion

under construction

The project involves the construction of a new, significantly larger ballroom on the White House grounds, replacing the East Wing. The design features high ceilings, arched windows reminiscent of Versailles’s Hall of Mirrors, bulletproof glass, and gold furniture. The ballroom size has expanded from an initial 500 seats to plans for several thousand seats, aiming to accommodate large events such as presidential inaugurations. The project includes demolition of the existing East Wing and construction of a new facility with offices for the first lady on the ground floor and a main visitor entrance from the East Portico. The project is personally managed by President Trump, who has taken an active role in design decisions and contractor selection.
