New York University Recommendation

This document presents the recommendations of a faculty-led space priorities working group regarding future construction on the Coles site for New York University. The key recommendations focus on addressing critical space needs, including the construction of at least 80 classrooms, the rebuilding of the Coles Sports Center to function as an emergency assembly space, and the development of new theater facilities. Additionally, the group recommends providing faculty and student housing, especially for growing families, to aid in recruitment, retention, and student engagement. The overarching vision emphasizes community stewardship, transparent information sharing, and fostering trust among all stakeholders to advance the university's academic mission.
