| This project is a Master Plan for the entire 36.5 acre campus at the City
College of New York located at 135th Street and Convent Avenue. City
University commissioned this plan to evaluate the state of the existing
campus in relation to the Strategic Plan created by the College.
The goal is to plan for the building program over the next 20 years.
The Master Plan is divided into three segments of work. The Existing Conditions Assessment, the Programming Phase and the New Proposal Phase. Included in this assessment of the existing facilities and the program is the addition of new elements to the college such a as a Student Center, new Science Center, Dormitories, a new High School and other program pieces that will come out of the planning process. The site is divided into a north campus which contains the original historic buildings by George Post and the south campus which has rolling terrain sitting on top of St. Nicholas Terrace overlooking the east side of upper Manhattan and the midtown skyline. The south campus, now largely empty of buildings, will be an ideal landscape to locate the new program elements situated in a large rolling topography. New buildings situated here will be spatially organized for the program uses and powerful images as seen in the distance perched atop St. Nicholas Terrace. |
