President Donald Trump’s White House architects revealed that a lavish ballroom being constructed may also require adding a story to the building’s main West Wing.
“I did mention the potential for a future addition, a one-story addition to the West Wing. And that would occur right here,” one architect explained during a presentation on Thursday. “And you can see that the reason to think that is so that we would reinstate the symmetry along, around the central pavilion of the White House. We haven’t looked at, we haven’t looked at that at all yet, but hope to do so in the future.”
In December, Trump replaced McCrery Architects with Shalom Baranes Associates. Some estimates suggest the ballroom project could cost more than $300 million. The president has vowed to pay for the project with donations.
