Join the Capital Chapter for an exclusive tour of Capital One Hall in Tysons Corner!

Experience this stunning venue from multiple perspectives—patrons, performers, designers, and facility managers—as you walk the stage and explore the spaces that bring performances to life.

You’ll hear directly from the project’s design architects, HGA, along with members of the facility team, who will share insights into the design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of this remarkable venue.

Capital One Hall is a cornerstone of the larger Capital One Center development in Tysons, Virginia. Originally built to serve as a premier on-site meeting and event space for Capital One’s 11,000+ local employees, the Hall has grown into a vibrant cultural destination. Guided by a passion for the arts, pride in its headquarters, and a strong commitment to community engagement, Capital One Hall is dedicated to creating a welcoming experience—and the “magic of theater”—for every patron, performance, and event.

During the tour, you’ll learn how the venue’s thoughtfully designed spaces support theatrical productions, special events, and the surrounding local arts community.
