White House unveils plans for new $200m ballroom
The White House plans to build a new $200 million ballroom as the latest part of its ongoing renovation, with the aim of hosting official events and enhancing the building's accessibility.
Details of the new ballroom
The new facility will be constructed on the White House's West Wing terrace and feature a glass ceiling and walls for natural light. It is designed to host official ceremonies and events, such as state dinners and diplomatic receptions. The White House claims the new construction will help enhance the building's accessibility and comply with current standards. The project is expected to cost $200 million and will be funded through the Presidential Emergency Fund, which is primarily composed of revenues from special activities, such as royalties from exhibiting White House historical artifacts.
Background on the White House
The White House is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, serving as the official residence and workplace of every U.S. President since 1800. Since the establishment of the United States, the White House has been modified and renovated numerous times, including expansions during the presidencies of Thomas Jefferson and James K. Polk, and a complete reconstruction following the British invasion during the War of 1812. This ongoing redevelopment project is part of the White House's efforts to ensure the continuity and preservation of this historic landmark for future generations.
