The NYU Construction website is a joint effort by the Office of Government and Community Affairs and the Office of Facilities and Construction Management.
Welcome to New York University's Construction Website. Here you will find useful information about the University's construction projects, announcements, renderings, and answers to frequently asked questions.
The Community Task Force on NYU Development convened by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer developed a set of planning principles to help guide NYU Plans 2031, a community-based strategic space planning initiative. As outlined in the planning principles, this site was created to keep our neighbors up to date on current projects. Furthermore, the University will continue to work with our neighbors to mitigate effects of construction.

New York University is reconstructing the building behind the façades at 12 - 16 Waverly Place to create space for its Center for Genomics and Systems Biology. The project is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2010.
In order to mitigate problems associated with the existing vaults, a sidewalk replacement and vault repair project at the Barney Building will include the demolition of the sidewalk and vaults on Stuyvesant and 9th Street and the subsequent construction of new vaults and sidewalk.
NYU and the Archdiocese of New York have completed the long-discussed sale of the site of the former NYU Catholic Center. The site, on Washington Square South and Thompson Street, will be home to NYU's Center for Academic and Spiritual Life, which will include spaces for religious observance, offices for NYU's Chaplains' Circle, classes, music rehearsals, and conferences, and will include space for an ongoing Catholic presence.
133-139 MacDougal, currently an office and apartment building which houses the Provincetown Playhouse, occupies an important cultural spot in the history of the American theatre. NYU has recently begun discussions with local community groups about a construction project on the site of 133-139 MacDougal Street that would provide space for legal research centers for the NYU School of Law.
The University has an existing combined heat and power (CHP) plant which provides electrical power to 7 NYU buildings and high temperature hot water to 40 NYU buildings throughout the Washington Square campus. Because the plant is at the end of its useful life, NYU has the opportunity to upgrade and replace the electrical generating equipment to increase the CHP plant output, efficiency, and environmental performance. The new plant will continue to provide high temperature hot water to 40 NYU buildings and will also provide electrical power to an additional 18 to 20 NYU buildings.
