Overview
New York City’s Morningside Heights rapidly developed in the nineteenth century and boasts two historic districts and numerous landmarks. Situated high on a plateau, it was dubbed the “academic acropolis” by the numerous academic, religious, and nonprofit institutions who moved to the area. The neighborhood remains a unique community to this day, with a strong sense of place and long-standing institutional connections. Join us for this one-day symposium and learn about institutional histories, recent developments, the maintenance of historic campuses, and their climate transition plans.
The morning sessions will begin with a panel discussion of academic leaders from Morningside Heights, who will discuss how they cooperate and interact amongst themselves and participate in initiatives that benefit the greater community. Looking to the future, they will also share how their institutions are adapting to an ever-changing environment. Other sessions will focus on preserving historic treasures, campus expansion planning in tight urban environments, and sustainable approaches to historic buildings while moving towards net zero carbon goals.
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the history of a university town and its role in a large urban setting.
- Discuss how to update historic campus buildings and spaces to incorporate new technology and pedagogy methods while respecting historic preservation values.
- Assess the best financial and planning strategies for incorporating campus expansion within a dense urban environment while respecting historic buildings and protecting community needs.
- Identify sustainable strategies for moving historic landmarks and buildings toward a net zero carbon future.

The Union Theological Seminary resides in a 100 year old historic campus and has recently undertaken plans to renew the campus for the future of seminary education at Union. Financial pressures combined with declining enrollment led the seminary to consolidate its space in multiple ways. BBB’s Campus Renewal Plan from 2018 identified three phases of renovation and renewal that, when complete, will touch the majority of spaces on campus to upgrade the infrastructure and building systems, provide accessibility and modernize key program elements—student housing, academic and administrative space, gathering and worship space, as well as IT and infrastructure. Phase 1 of the work included the gut renovation of student housing in Hastings Hall and the installation of an all new central mechanical plant, completed in 2020. Phase 2 is currently in the planning stage.
