🎾 #DGSBuilds— We celebrated the new bridge beam milestone at the Southeast Tennis & Learning Center – South (SETLC), marking a major step towards completing the state-of-the-art facility’s expansion— qualifying SETLC to host
@usta -sanctioned International Junior Tennis Tournaments.
Additionally, this expansion is part of
@mayor_bowser ’s broader investment in recreation infrastructure across the District—with more than $100 million invested in Ward 8 recreation facilities over the past decade and more than $600 million citywide.
“By connecting the new facility to the existing campus, we are building the foundation for a world‑class environment where young people can learn, play, and thrive for generations to come, said
@dcdpr Director Freeman.
“When this center was first imagined, it was about access, opportunity, and excellence,” said SETLC Founder and CEO Cora Masters Barry. “Today, with this expansion, we are opening doors beyond our borders — proving that greatness can rise from right here and be recognized around the world.”
“As a crown jewel in Ward 8, SETLC reflects what we mean when we say DGS builds what matters,” said Director Hunter. “This expansion delivers on the District’s commitment to sustainability and world-class recreation, creating a space to shape the next generation of champions.
This project would not be possible without the support of Cora Masters Barry,
@rwlc_setlc ,
@markdein1 , our design-build team,
@gcs.sigal and
@mtfa_architecture , DGS Project Manager, Ardavan Tookaloo, DPR PM, Peter Nohrden, our client agency DPR, and all involved!
