The largest cultural facility of its kind, it is the nation’s busiest arts facility presenting more than 2,000 performances each year. It currently consists of one building encompassing approximately 1,500,000 square feet of usable floor space and is situated on 17 acres of land overlooking the Potomac River. A 65,000 square foot addition to the facility called the REACH was added to the Federal in September 2019.

The Kennedy Center houses nine theaters, production support areas, two public restaurants, nine function/special event rooms, five public galleries/halls/foyers, approximately 50,000 square feet of administrative offices and a large parking facility.
