Nerds in NoMa was initially conceived of as part of the “Lobby Project,” a partnership between the NoMa BID and the D.C.  Office of Planning’s Temporary Urbanism program to demonstrate that sterile office lobbies can be easily transformed into vibrant public spaces. Over the last three years, NoMa’s Lobby Project has proven that community, conversation and art (courtesy of the NoMa BID’s partnership with Washington Project for the Arts), can come together in a private office lobby without danger to persons or property. Many thanks go to the courageous property owner, Principal Real Estate Investors, and property managers at Polinger, for enabling this to happen.
