Projects Under Construction

CUNY has some $2.2 billion worth of projects currently in the pipeline, University, including new, state-of-the art buildings and major renovations across several campuses:

This new facility will replace former office building that BMCC lost on 9/11. The 390,000-square-foot building contains classrooms, instructional laboratories, computer labs, faculty offices, administrative offices, student/faculty services, building services, and support functions, as well as an art gallery on the main floor.

This new building will enable the college to replace out-of-date instructional space with much-needed, state-of-the-art classrooms and modern library. The 98,000-square-foot facility will have 15 large classrooms and a café on its first floor; the second floor will house the two-story information commons, along with a ring of small group-study rooms and lounge areas; the third story will have book stacks surrounding a balcony that overlooks the reading room.

The new Advanced Science Research Center will provide a 206,000-square-foot research facility to support the concept of an integrated university, providing state-of-the-art laboratories for CUNY's top research faculty in nanoscience, photonics and environmental remote sensing. A second 190,000-square-foot science lab building will provide new facilities for City College's Science Division.

This project will replace the façade and install a new curtain wall in the building, which currently houses most of the college's science research facilities.

These infrastructure improvements include chiller replacement, boiler upgrades and new piping.

The entire facade of the Voorhees Building, which houses the college's Architecture and Engineering Programs, is being replaced. The new façade will preserve the facility, increase energy efficiency and provide an updated aesthetic appearance.

A property in Harlem was purchased to relocate the school from its current leased facility on Manhattan's Upper East Side, giving the school a permanent, owned facility. This new 147,000-square-foot building will include instructional space, a library, centers and institutes, as well as house the School of Public Health and faculty housing

This 600,000-square-foot building will provide classrooms and lecture halls, modern forensic science labs, instructional and research laboratories, faculty offices, student activities and academic support services, administrative offices, and campus services.

This 69,000-square-foot building is the first of a three-phase facility that will create the cornerstone of the sciences at Lehman. Designed to showcase the college’s strength in plant science teaching and research, Phase I will include laboratories for interdisciplinary teaching and research, science learning centers, offices, and a research facility. The project incorporates a number of environmentally sustainable strategies and is expected to be the first CUNY building to receive a LEED Gold Rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

This building will help meet the college's severe space deficit, providing state-of-the-art classrooms and computer labs for all disciplines, as well as instructional labs and faculty offices for the School of Science, Health and Technology. The 195,000-square-foot structure will also house the college's main dining facility.

As a result of a public-private partnership with Citigroup, CUNY School of Law is moving from its Flushing Campus to 2 Court Square in Long Island City. The University has acquired a six-floor, 260,000-square-foot condominium interest in the 14-story, environmentally green building, and is renovating the space with new classrooms, a library, clinic and offices.
