Cornell Tech Campus

Construction continues at the new campus for Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. Steel erection is complete at Morphosis' Bloomberg Center and Weiss/Manfredi's co-location building, known as the Bridge at Cornell Tech. At the Hudson Companies' 26-story residential tower for graduate students, superstructure has topped out and facade panel installation is underway on the lower floors. Designed by Handel Architects, the tower will be the world's tallest project built to the Passive House standards for energy efficiency. Phase One looks to be on track for its mid 2017 opening date.
