The most-detailed renderings yet of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project were briefly made available Friday, showing the massive scale of the planned 89,000-square-foot space. It also appears to be more than half the length of the Treasury Building, which it would be next to. The White House has said the ballroom would be privately funded. The National Capital Planning Commission is set to meet next on March 5 to discuss the proposal. The White House hired Shalom Baranes Associates as the new architect for the ballroom construction in December, with sources previously telling CNN there were disputes between the president and the architect originally contracted for the project.
