United States Capitol Visitor Center
Since 2008
The United States Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) is a large underground addition to the United States Capitol complex which serves as a gathering point for up to 4,000 tourists and an expansion space for the U.S. Congress. Opened in 2008, it is located on 1st Street East below the landscaped tree-shaded grounds of the East Front of the Capitol and included the development of the surface plaza (which had previously served as a parking lot since the mid-1920s). Additional, transparent skylights also punctuate the surface plaza to allow light into the center.
