New York University (NYU) wanted to create a new facility that featured human-focused technology and fostered collaboration, co-locating three distinct programs—nursing, dentistry, and bioengineering. They reached out to our team, in collaboration with KPF, to leverage our expertise in healthcare and research environments in the design of this new building.
We focused the design around strategic adjacencies and shared resources to enhance learning, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration. We also employed a variety of sustainable strategies, including high-performance glazing, shading devices, natural ventilation, chilled beams, solar hot water heating, and a high albedo roof to achieve LEED Silver certification.
A light-filled central staircase encourages movement throughout the building, leading to a spacious, shared study commons that supports students in rigorous programs. NYU’s brand is reflected in high-quality finishes, comfortable furnishings, and amenities that accommodate diverse learning styles. The transparent design showcases internal activities while framing expansive skyline views—a solution that enhances the facility’s spacious feel despite its tight urban site.
Overall, the 11-story building provides NYU students and personnel with a collaborative facility that puts education and the healthcare practice model on display—from teaching and study spaces to student services and offices to research laboratories.
