HQO Events

EVENTS AT HQO Make your next event a one-of-a-kind experience by hosting it in the new DC Water headquarters in Navy Yard. There are breathtaking vistas of the Anacostia River from every one of our event rooms. The building, which is LEED Platinum+ certified, is constructed of undulating glass and lies on the brink of the river. When you reach the top of our building, you will be rewarded with a panoramic view. Please complete the contact form below if you would like to schedule a tour or receive additional information. The rotunda is reached through a 13270 square foot lobby that runs around the whole structure. The open entryway's walls describe the space's one-of-a-kind design on the inside. It is a wonderful space for receptions, happy hour gatherings, dancing, and brief performances in the rotunda. It has the capacity to hold up to 200 people. HQO was designed to be built around an existing pump station, giving it its distinctive shape. Throughout the foyer, there are various cut-outs that lead to the pumping station.
