NYU-Poly Unveils Expansion of Classroom Space
Elected officials help inaugurate 120,000-square-foot facility upgrade at 2 MetroTech.
NYU-Poly officially opened a major expansion of its MetroTech campus—the first in a series of developments that look to transform Downtown Brooklyn into a high-tech educational mecca.
"Today's ribbon-cutting is yet another win for Brooklyn as NYU-Poly and the broader tech industry continue to bring students, jobs, and innovation to our community," said state Sen. Daniel Squadron, D-Cobble Hill, at today's event.
The ribbon cutting was for 120,000 square feet of classroom space at 2 MetroTech to be used by the school's engineering students, as well as faculty and administrators.
