NYU on the `CUSP’ of MetroTech launch
NYU’s Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) Tuesday announced that it will launch its inaugural programs and host its first class of 50 students at MetroTech.
With construction beginning now on approximately 26,000 square feet of space in 1 MetroTech Center, CUSP will occupy the MetroTech space, leased to the University by Forest City Ratner, as NYU continues to transform the former Metropolitan Transit Authority facility at 370 Jay St. into its permanent home.
CUSP’s facilities at MetroTech and 370 Jay St. – which will eventually total more than half a million square feet – will build on NYU’s existing presence in Brooklyn, which includes NYU-Poly, by bringing together global leaders of science, technology, and education.
