columbia university campus in west harlem by renzo piano and SOM
back in 2004 columbia university proposed a 6 billion USD 17 acre campus plan by renzo piano
and SOM, for a satellite campus in nearby west harlem. but to build the project, the university
needed to acquire private property from owners who did not want to sell, forcing it to use
the power of eminent domain to acquire the land. since then there has been decisions made to
not allow the development to proceed. however last week it was announced that columbia university
has now been given the legal go ahead to construct the campus.
the first building to rise up on the new west harlem campus by renzo piano will focus on brain research,
but the jerome l. greene science center is being designed for both non scientists and neuroscientists.
