New York City is home to some of the world’s leading centers of research and clinical care. Rockefeller University, Columbia University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Weill Cornell Medicine have all recently made significant investments to expand their state-of-the-art research facilities.

This tour will be led by the architects who worked on the recently completed Eugene Belfer Research Center at Weill Cornell Medicine (Ennead), the River Campus at Rockefeller (Rafael Viñoly Architects), and the Collaborative Research Center, also at Rockefeller (Mitchell Giurgola Architects). Learn how the architects worked within constrained urban sites to create stunning high-performance facilities.
