D.C.’s next unconventional office space will be outdoors near the White House.

Next week, Washingtonians will be able to access free public Wi-Fi in stretches of downtown, courtesy of the District’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer. While the amenity isn’t being dubbed as an official co-working space, you know my motto: where there are couches, tables, park benches and wi-fi, there’s an opportunity to work remotely.

The amenity is actually part of Pennsylvania Avenue 2040, a program to “enhance visitors’ experience on ‘America’s Main Street’ by implementing exciting and practical” forms of technology. The initiative is a partnership between D.C., the Golden Triangle BID, and the National Capital Planning Commission.

Mayor Muriel Bowser will help launch the connection at an event in Murrow Park next Thursday, according to Borderstan, which first reported the service.

The “DCWiFi” service will be available between the 1700 and 1900 blocks of Pennsylvania Ave and from G Street to I Street NW. This space joins dozens of other city-sponsored Wi-Fi spots around town.
