Cornell Tech Builds Roosevelt Island Campus

Published 7/10/2015

Cornell Tech began building the Roosevelt Island campus in New York in June of 2015. The site plan for the $2 billion project was created by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and James Corner Field Operations. The sustainably designed campus represents a partnership between Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Cornell University. The 12-acre campus will feature the Bloomberg Center designed by Morphosis to be one of the largest net-zero buildings in the United States. The site will also house a 26-story residential tower designed by Handel Architects as the world's tallest Passivhaus structure. The seven-story Bridge building, designed by Weiss/Manfredi, will provide collaborative business incubator space for academia and industry partners to create new digital technologies. The Cornell Tech campus will open in summer of 2017.
