Columbia Expansion Gets Early Approval
Abstract:
The university intends to tear down all but three buildings to make way for a new campus housing science and research laboratories. The expansion is expected to take at least 20 years to complete, and will eventually cover a swath of Harlem bounded by Broadway on the east, Riverside Drive on the west, West 129th St on the south and West 133rd St on the north. Check out some of the future campus's sweet new features:
* A new home for Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs!
* A center for research on the brain and neurosciences!
* A new site for Columbia's School of the Arts!
* A new site for its business school!
* A permanent site for the new, university-assisted public secondary school for math, science and engineering!
* Housing for graduate students and faculty!
* Lab space for biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, systems biology and urban and population studies!
* A monorail with open bar, dining car and open mic night for students and faculty!
