makeover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Officials stated the wing would be \u2018modernized\u2019 and expanded to make way for a 90,000 square foot ballroom, capable of hosting up to 650 people at a time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"daily-n.com_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"CO3epvOx8o4DFQKfgwcdCCgRlw\">\n<div

which currently has a capacity of around 200, as the preferred hosting area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The project is tipped to cost in the region of an eye-watering $200 million, with works beginning in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In its justification for the construction, the White House said the lack of adequate space has forced hosting staff to set up a \u2018large and unsightly tent\u2019 outside to accommodate for additional guests.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div
