Campus charisma emerges through Cornell Tech students

Cornell Tech exemplifies a new age in education, and Dan Huttenlocher, vice provost and dean, touted how the new campus’s personality is starting to bloom in New York City.
Speaking to alumni at Reunion June 11, Huttenlocher described the construction of the campus on Roosevelt Island, which will open next year, but he emphasized an emerging, distinctive campus character. Currently, Cornell Tech is housed in the Google building in the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan.
“While being small, we’ve developed a real culture on the campus,” said Huttenlocher as he described last month’s Recognition Ceremony for graduates held at The Times Center. “The thing that struck me most about that ceremony, it was in a meeting space in the city that was not part of our campus.”
.....Huttenlocher shared the status of the three buildings under construction: The Bloomberg Center – in honor of Emma and Georgina Bloomberg, the main academic building; The Bridge, the corporate co-location building; and the 26-story residential tower in the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge. All three buildings are scheduled for occupancy by summer 2017. In addition, the Verizon Executive Education Center is planned for 2019, and an adjacent hotel is being considered.
