Project Feature: Bronx Community College of City University of New York

Bronx Community College of the City University of New York is the Getty Foundation-funded campus heritage preseervation project for the month of December, 2010.

The Stanford White Complex is an architectural and landscape complex designed by McKim, Mead and White in the late 19th century (1892-96). It includes a cluster of artistic buildings including the Gould Memorial Library, The Hall of Fame of Great Americans, Language Hall, and the Philosophy Hall. The elegant interiors of the library were done by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Co. plus a dome and tiles by Guastavino Co. The college is located on a landscaped 40 acre site. The entire complex is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and has landmark status in New York. The team of researchers and consultants developed a comprehensive Conservation Master Plan for the buildings and cultural landscape.
