Hickok Cole Architects was chosen to design the new Washington D.C.
75,000-sq.-ft. build-to-suit New York University branch, a
mixed-use facility targeting LEED Gold certification. Major cities
such as Paris, Florence and Shanghai host NYU semester programs,
and the university has chosen D.C. as the location for its new
Arts/Sciences program. The project will house five floors of
dormitories, featuring four-person suites, provided with shading
and privacy through an external screening system.
The dorms are visually separated from the academic areas below by a
balcony that runs along the building façade, outside the reading
room. An interconnecting staircase runs from the first floor
student lounge to the academic areas.
The project will also house spaces for academic programs, support
staff, and lobbyists.
