George Washington University Virginia Science and Technology Campus

Loudoun County, Virginia

George Washington University Virginia Graduate Campus is the campus of George Washington University in the Ashburn area of unincorporated Loudoun County, Virginia, United States. It was launched in 1991, thanks to the generosity of GW Trustee Emeritus and local philanthropist Robert H. Smith and to the vision of President Emeritus Stephen J. Trachtenberg. Today, the campus supports innovative research in engineering, physics, and chemistry and is home to academic programs and critical administrative services.

In February 2026, the university sold the campus to Amazon Data Services, which plans to develop a data center on the land, for $427 million. The contract allows the university to remain on the property for up to five years to allow programs to relocate.[1]
