New York University, based in New York City, plans a $1-billion expansion of its Tandon School of Engineering, announcing the new investment Nov. 30 that will include purchasing an existing 350,000-sq-ft building adjacent to the existing Rogers Hall at its Brooklyn, N.Y., campus.
Privately-funded NYU says it is still in early stages of planning a build-out for the adjacent building at 3 Metrotech Center, which it purchased from JP Morgan Chase in September. The plan would tie into expected renovation of Rogers Hall and of lab spaces in Manhattan. The work would enable NYU to expand its interdisciplinary lab and research space for robotics, biomedical engineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering and nanofabrication, it said.
