Project Overview

Columbia University's need for additional space for scientic instruction and research facilities continues to increase. To help alleviate this need for space and to better meet the scientific challenges of the 21st century, the University is constructing a new science building on the northwest corner of its Morningside campus. The project, located at the corner of Broadway and West 120th Street above the Dodge Physical Fitness Center and between Chandler Hall and Pupin Physics Laboratories, commenced in the Spring of 2007.

The Interdisplinary Science Building will house faculty offices, classrooms, and research facilities for the disciplines of chemistry, biology, engineering and physics.  it will also serve as a new access point to and from the Morningside campus.  It is anticipated that the Interdisciplinary Science building will be competed in the Fall of 2010.

The Interdisciplinary Science Building is being designed by José Rafael Moneo.  New York-based Davis Brody Bond is the building's architect of record.  Construction of the new building is being managed by Turner Construction.
