THE FIRST LEED CERTIFIED ACADEMIC LABORATORY BUILDING IN NYC

It’s a must see! I saw it yesterday and I am just wowed!  The Cooper Union’s new building at 41 Cooper Square is even more astonishing to behold inside than outside.  Built around a 9 story atrium with a stunning lattice-like enveloping shield representing the unification of the 3 Cooper Union schools, the new building expects to achieve a platinum LEED certification.  Try as I might I could not find a picture of that atrium so the best and easiest way to see it is by making an appt to take a tour, Tuesdays (not holidays) at 12:30, by calling Christine Romero at 212.353.4100 or cromero@cooper.edu to book a space on a tour. The next available tour as of yesterday is at the beginning of July so don’t wait to book.
