Stantec completes George Mason University academic and research facility in Arlington
May 14, 2026
The Architect’s Newspaper takes a look at George Mason University’s new facility for computing, AI, data analytics, and cybersecurity programs
A new academic and research facility at George Mason University designed by Stantec is complete in Arlington, Virginia’s Rosslyn–Ballston corridor.
The building —dubbed Fuse at Mason Square —was backed by Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate and is located prominently on Arlington’s Fairfax Drive.
Fuse at Mason Square measures 345,000 square feet. It hosts GMU programs in computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and cybersecurity, as well as space for industry partners.
The complex serves as the flagship for GMU’s Tech Talent Investment Program, an initiative aimed at graduating 15,000 computer science and engineering graduates over the next two decades.
