Abstract
The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator is presently operational and nearing completion of its initial dielectric structure- and plasma-based experimental program. In this paper a number of possible future improvements and directions for the AWA are discussed including photocathode source upgrades, laser pulse and beam shaping options, multiple drive bunch generation, and novel wakefield device measurements. Plans for a 1 GeV demonstration wakefield accelerator will be presented
