Since Stanford in Washington opened its doors in 1988, it has served as both home and classroom to Stanford faculty and undergraduates spending a term in the Bing Stanford in Washington Program.
Over the years, Stanford programs, departments, and schools have become an active part of life at the Bass Center, sponsoring faculty talks and panel discussions, alumni gatherings, and student recruitment events. With the opening of the Sant Building in 2007, the opportunities for Stanford affiliates have expanded to include exhibits in the art gallery, bicoastal classes and conferences in the Boone Distance Learning Center, and additional guest space for faculty and students.

In 1988, Stanford University purchased a property at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Woodley Road in Northwest Washington. With funds generously provided by Anne T. (MLA ’07) and Robert M. Bass (MBA ’74), the venue would become Stanford in Washington’s home.

In 2005 Stanford University broke ground on the renovation and expansion of the building adjacent to the main building. Victoria, ’61, and Roger Sant made this expansion possible.
