The Capitol Visitor Center (CVC), still under construction, was designed as an extension of the Capitol that welcomes visitors to the seat of American government. At nearly 580,000 square feet, the CVC is the largest project in the Capitol's 215-year history and is approximately three quarters the size of the Capitol itself. The entire facility is located underground on the east side of the Capitol so as not to detract from the appearance of the Capitol and of the grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1874.

When it opens, the Visitor Center will provide visitors to the Capitol with a variety of amenities, including an exhibition gallery, orientation theaters, gift shops, and restrooms all within a secure public environment that will provide visitors shelter from the unpredictable D.C. weather.
