The new Columbia Business School, part of the 17-acre Manhattanville Development in West Harlem, doubles the institution's space to 492,000 square feet allowing the school to expand on their mission by educating more students, engaging alumni, elevating research and scholarship, and strengthening strategic partnerships.
The project includes two buildings separated by a large, outdoor green space, and walkways that link the green space to other areas of campus. The new buildings lend themselves to a cross-fertilization of uses and establish a strong link between public and private areas. The urban character of the Business School campus provides stimulating collective spaces that foster a strong sense of community—spaces where students, faculty, and external constituents can gather and exchange ideas. The dynamic environment encapsulates elements of both professional and personal life and is a place where individuals can find space for reflection within a network of intersecting study and recreational spaces. FXCollaborative worked in collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro on this prestigious project.
