Arlington, Va.
Freedom Forum, a Northern Virginia-based nonprofit, is planning a $432-million media museum in Arlington. The original Newseum, which closed earlier this year, will be replaced with a 555,000-sf museum, retail and restaurant complex. Construction and equipment for the Newseum are expected to cost approximately $149.8 million. Designed by Polshek Partnership Architects and Ralph Appelbaum Associates, the facility is slated to begin construction in April of 2003. Completion is expected in 2006.
