The White House proposed an underground visitor screening facility, planned to be built on federal land in Sherman Park.
The project would span about 33,000 square feet and involve multiple agencies, including the Secret Service and National Park Service.
Construction could begin as early as this fall and be completed by July 2028, according to the CBS report.
Visitors would queue in multiple lanes for an initial ID check before proceeding to a new lobby and checkpoint.
The NCPC agenda notes that the cost and funding source were not provided in the plan.
Officials say the project aims to modernize the visitor experience at the White House from start to finish.
The National Capital Planning Commission will assess the plans at its April 2 meeting.
The project is tied to broader Washington renovations, including the East Wing ballroom work and potential arch construction.
The screening facility would replace the current setup where visitors used trailers and tents outside the White House.
The plan would place the new facility entirely on federal land in Sherman Park, southeast of the White House.
