Plans for a new White House State Ballroom aim to resolve capacity limitations for large-scale events. With approximately 90,000 square feet and seating for 650 guests, the ballroom will replace the East Wing, which currently accommodates only 200 guests. The new structure, designed by McCrery Architects, will align with the classical architecture of the White House while featuring a neoclassical interior. Construction is set to begin in September 2025, intending to satisfy longstanding spatial needs without compromising the building's historic character.
