It will transform Hunter College鈥檚 Brookdale Campus into a state-of-the-art academic, healthcare, and life sciences hub that will provide myriad benefits to the city, including billions of dollars in economic impact, improvements to the public realm, and a pipeline from local public schools and city universities into these growing fields.

The team will design a new, over 600,000ft2 education building which will be shared by three integrated CUNY schools 鈥� Hunter College School of Nursing, CUNY Graduate School of Health & Health Policy, and Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) 鈥� and a new NYC Public Schools (NYCPS) health and science career-focused high school. The project also includes a large public open space, a new pedestrian bridge across the FDR to access the waterfront, and the continuation of floodproofing infrastructure along the East Side.

The team is thrilled to bring years of experience working in NYC, expertise in resiliency and sustainability, and deep commitment to community and public space to help design this innovative new development to shape the city鈥檚 future. We look forward to sharing more updates soon.

The guidelines are ambitious and aim for a 50% reduction in embodied carbon, largely through circular practices, such as reducing construction, and deconstruction material for disposal, by 75%; reusing or recycling 95% of concrete and soil generated by either construction or deconstruction for highest-use value; and for 25% of all virgin materials used to be low-carbon, such as mass timber. The goal, according to NYCEDC鈥檚 chief strategy officer Cecilia Kushner, is not only to support New York鈥檚 green transition, but to harness the economic heft of the NYCEDC to engender a larger market of circular construction for private actors across the city.
