University Campus Locations in Washington DC

University and college campus locations and attributes for the District of Columbia, created by the DC Geographic Information System. The data is provided by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer and other D.C. government agencies, with geo-processing by DC GIS staff. It excludes university areas defined in campus plans from the DC Office of Zoning.

Use Cases

• Map university campus locations using geographic coordinates for urban planning analysis
• Analyze the spatial distribution of educational institutions across Washington DC neighborhoods
• Integrate university area data with other DC GIS layers for demographic or infrastructure studies

Strengths

• Data is provided by authoritative D.C. government agencies including OCTO and EMA
• Available in multiple standard geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and CSV for interoperability
• Maintained as part of the official DC Geographic Information System

Limitations

• The dataset does not include university areas from official DC Office of Zoning campus plans, limiting its comprehensiveness for regulatory analysis
• Specific attribute columns and the total number of records are not documented, hindering detailed quantitative assessment
• Potential for temporal staleness as the last update date is projected far into the future (2026)
