Beautifying Federal Civic Architecture Act of 2025

This bill mandates that new or significantly renovated federal public buildings costing over $50 million (adjusted for inflation) prioritize classical or traditional architectural styles - such as Neoclassical, Georgian, or Greek Revival - over modern styles like Brutalist or Deconstructivist. It requires federal agencies, particularly the General Services Administration (GSA), to seek community input on designs, ensure architects reviewing projects have classical architecture expertise, and justify any deviation from preferred styles with detailed cost and aesthetic analyses. The law applies to courthouses, agency headquarters, and National Capital region buildings, excluding infrastructure projects. Annual reports to Congress will track compliance with these architectural standards.
