The old MTA headquarters on 370 Jay St. may become New York University’s future Center for Urban Science and Progress.
Rather than compete with Standford and Cornell for land on Roosevelt Island, NYU Senior Vice Provost for Research Paul Horn said building the Center in downtown Brooklyn would create “a terrific entrepreneurial center.”
The Center for Urban Science and Progress will be an applied science graduate school. NYU plans for the school to have 50 engineering and computer science faculty teach 400 master’s students and 100 Ph.D students.
The total cost for the project is estimated at over $450 million.
