February 10, 2020Creating Living Learning Experiences – Student Housing in New York City
Thank you for everyone who was able to join the AIANY Architecture for Education Committee for a roundtable discussion on the evolution of student housing in New York City.
The program presented three project examples: a recently completed new building at Pratt Institute, a series of phased renovations at New York University, and a project currently in design at Columbia University. The conversation focused on each institution’s specific student profile and how the programming and planning of the project responded to student needs within the context/constraints of New York City living.

Architecture for Education
The AIANY Architecture for Education Committee is the local affiliate of AIA National’s CAE. The committee provides and organizes events where architects, educators, educational administrators, and the public can meet and exchange ideas to promote better educational facilities of all kinds. We provide opportunities where the design community can meet the people who administrate the various agencies that control design and construction budgets and discuss mutual concerns and interests. Our goals include maintaining ties to other committees and affiliated organizations for events of mutual interest at both the local and national level. Our meetings are free and open to all.
