The Heritage Foundation has announced the opening of the Barb Van Andel-Gaby Building, a new addition to its headquarters on Capitol Hill.
Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts commented on the development: "I am thrilled to announce the opening of the new Barb Van Andel-Gaby Building. This building is a physical symbol of the work Heritage is doing every day to support and serve as a resource for the conservative movement. Now is a time to add and multiply within our movement. With this building, Heritage is doubling its commitment to supporting the institutions and organizations fighting to save America. We are grateful to our board chair, Barb Van Andel-Gaby, and all our generous supporters and excited for Heritage to continue to serve as a resource to convene, cohere, and support the conservative movement."
The new facility includes state-of-the-art TV, radio, and podcast studios (eight in total), conference spaces, a ballroom for large events, and additional office spaces. This expansion marks the final phase of a decade-long project that involved over 45,000 square feet of renovations across its 250,000 square-foot campus on Massachusetts Avenue. The building now accommodates over 400 employees and features more than two dozen rooms designed to host over 5,000 meetings and events annually.
Barb Van Andel-Gaby, Chairman of Heritage’s Board of Trustees, stated: "Today's expansion ensures Heritage will continue the profound impact it's had on shaping public policy for many more decades to come. Heritage's growing presence guarantees the American people have a permanent outpost in our nation's capital and a state-of-the-art building to support the growing conservative movement. It was a tremendous honor to join Dr. Roberts, the entire Heritage team, fellow trustees, friends, and family in celebrating the grand opening."
Under Dr. Kevin Roberts' leadership, The Heritage Foundation has achieved significant milestones and expanded its reach nationwide. Engaging over 10 million members and supporters daily makes it one of the largest fundraising bases in the conservative movement. In 2023 alone, it raised $150 million—a record annual amount—and projects another record-breaking year in 2024.
