Projects in Planning & Design Stages

Over the next five years, CUNY has plans for more than $2.1 billion worth of major new construction and renovation projects. Here are some of the projects:

The Lawrence and Eris Field Building, Baruch's 284,000-square-foot facility at 17 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, was built in 1928 on the original site of The City College of New York. Since then, it has been used continuously with minimal upgrades. This project will renovate the building in phases, beginning with an infrastructure upgrade and continuing with the renovation of its 16 stories.

This project will demolish Roosevelt Hall and construct a 180,000-square-foot science facility with high-tech instructional laboratories, general-purpose classrooms, faculty offices, and support spaces. The new facility will support the college's academic goal of transition to an interdisciplinary teaching model.

The College’s performing arts facilities were constructed in the mid-20th Century and cannot accommodate the modern program amenities needed by today's students. This new facility will provide theater performance space, rehearsal and practice rooms, teaching studios, set construction and recording studios.

This project will address the college's acute space deficit by building an approximately 350,000-square-foot facility on the site of the Klitgord Building. The new building will be a mixed-used facility with classrooms, computer labs, science labs, a 1,000-seat auditorium, physical education facilities, administrative offices, student services, a nursing simulation center and a dental hygiene clinic.

This 175,000-square-foot facility will house a high-performance computer that will serve as a University-wide resource for computer-based modeling and simulation that are a requisite for performing advanced multidisciplinary research and the development of advanced technology systems. The facility will contain spaces dedicated to state-of-the-art scientific computing hardware, laboratories for visualization, computer labs flexibly designed to encourage collaborative student research, high-tech instructional laboratories, general-purpose classrooms and dedicated student work areas.

The nearly 100-year-old terra cotta façade is deteriorating and has been slated as one of CUNY’s significant Critical Maintenance needs. The168,000-square-foot façade will be replaced with a curtain wall that will protect the interior from intrusion from the elements and prevent energy loss.

This 160,000-square-foot addition to the Phase I facility will include laboratories for teaching and research, science learning centers, offices and research facilities. Anthropology, biology, chemistry, environmental geographic and geological sciences, math and computer sciences, nursing, physics, astronomy and psychology will be housed in the new structure.

This 175,000-square-foot facility has been used for physical education, recreation, and competitive sports since 1957. The building contains two gymnasiums and locker rooms, a swimming pool, exercise science class labs, weight and training rooms, and a health and services center. This renovation project will provide the first phase of comprehensive interior and mechanical systems upgrades needed to meet the functional and instructional requirements of the college.

This project will be built on the site of the existing Classroom Building. The approximately 160,000-square-foot facility will provide students with offices for student government clubs, lounges, conference rooms, a bookstore and a coffee shop. The classrooms will be convertible to state-of-the-art conference rooms that will be available for the community’s use.
