Construction

Construction Planning and Goals of NYU

NYU is in the process of strategically planning its growth over the next 25 years. Part of that process will be its construction projects. It is one of our greatest concerns to communicate both our 25 year plan and our mission to our community, ensuring that they remain an integral part of our growth. We have devised this website to keep our many different communities up-to-date on the current construction projects at the University.

Please check here often for updates on the many on-going projects at NYU.

12-16 Waverly Place - Genomics Building Project

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.

14 East 78th Street - Stephen Chan House

The NYU Office of Facilities and Construction Management will undertake a façade restoration project at the Stephen Chan House, the IFA Conservation Center. The project is scheduled to be completed by November 2008.

19 Washington Square North

The townhouse at 19 Washington Square North will be renovated to house conference rooms, multimedia facilities, offices for visiting faculty and officials; and to provide a welcome and information center for students and faculty.

22 Washington Square North

FCM, in conjunction with the NYU School of Law, will be renovating and restoring 22 Washington Square North to increase space for Law School research centers that will provide better facilities for visiting professors and scholars. The project is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2009.

40-44-50 West 4th Street - Stern Concourse

The Concourse Project is the most significant renovation of Stern's facilities since uniting the School's programs at Washington Square. It will effectively reinvent 84,500 square feet of space in the Stern School of Business' three main buildings: Tisch Hall, Henry Kaufman Management Center, and Shimkin Hall. The project began in the spring of 2007 and is scheduled to be completed by early 2010.

133-139 MacDougal Street - Provincetown Playhouse

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.

251 Mercer Street Plaza - Cogeneration Plant

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.
