There will be three main entrances to the Commons on Leggett Lane; two across from the Washington Post Office and another near the wastewater treatment station.

Jordan Goldstein, global director of design for Gensler, said the double porches on the commercial building, which will be seen from the eastern end of Warren Avenue, celebrate the architecture of Washington and allude to the double porches on the Inn's iconic façade.
