NYU in NYC: Planning an Urban University

370 Jay Street was the former headquarters for the MTA in Downtown Brooklyn, and is a 500k SF LEED Platinum-certified adaptive reuse facility that is home to programs from the Tandon School of Engineering, the Tisch School of the Arts and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.  In addition, it is also the home to University classrooms, the Tandon Future Labs Incubator, the Clive Davis Gallery, and “The Garage” performance space and the “Media Commons” production spaces.

The tour will visit various academic departments to illustrate how each floor was customized for unique academic research and instructional programs.  This will include a visit to NYU’s Tandon and Tisch departments – CUSP, Integrated Digital Media, ITP, Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music, and the NYU Game Center.

Experience life as an NYU student as we take the NYC MTA subway between Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Located at 181 Mercer Street, this distinctive, LEED Gold-certified complex serves the widest range of uses of any NYU building.  Divided into “neighborhoods,” the athletic and recreational facilities are found below-grade.  The lower floors provide nearly five dozen new classrooms, state-of-the-art facilities for dramatic and musical arts education, common areas for community gatherings, two eateries, and dedicated space for the local community. The upper floors contain student and faculty housing.

The tour will visit the new NYU Athletics Fieldhouse, the state-of-the-art performance spaces – The Iris Cantor Theatre, the African Grove Theatre, as well as ensemble and rehearsal spaces.
