3400 International Drive (also known as Intelsat Headquarters) is an office complex in the North Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., by the Van Ness metro station.
Known for its futuristic and high-tech architecture, it was designed by the Australian architect John Andrews and built by Gilbane Building Company as the U.S. headquarters of the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (Intelsat). It opened in two phases, in 1984 and 1988.
The building was designated as a landmark in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites by the Historic Preservation Review Board in April 2019.
From 2019 to 2022, the building has housed the D.C. location of Whittle School & Studios, a private, for-profit "global school" that served students ages 3–18.
