Our Future Home: 20 Cooper Square

In Summer 2007, the Department is scheduled to move to new, state-of-the-art facilities at 20 Cooper Square, a short walk from the NYU Washington Square campus in Greenwich Village.

Designed by the award-winning architectural firm of Polshek and Partners, the space consists of two full floors of a large converted warehouse building, with a mix of open and enclosed spaces (for classrooms, lectures, etc.), new labs and equipment, common areas for students and new broadcast facilities.

Polshek is widely acclaimed for its restoration and renovation of Carnegie Hall and the Brooklyn Museum and has extensive experience designing and planning educational facilities.
