"Planning for the project began in 2022. Officials said the new learning facility will feature modern classrooms and lab facilities, including a wet lab that supports public health research, where students will get hands-on experience. Although CUNY learning currently takes place at the site, officials will add more than 2 million square feet of academic space over an entire block once the project is completed."
"Ayman El-Mohandes, a dean at CUNY's Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, said the move is about more than just additional space. It's about finally having the infrastructure to match our ambitions for training future public health professionals and advancing research that matters to communities across New York, he said, adding that the school has outgrown the current space."
A public health education hub will open at 455 First Ave near the medical examiner's office. The city's morgue will move from 30th Street to 25th Street on First Ave to join the Science Park and Research Campus (SPARC) Kips Bay. The campus will serve CUNY students in healthcare, life sciences and related fields and will include modern classrooms and lab facilities, including a wet lab for public health research and hands-on training. The project will add more than 2 million square feet of academic space. Deconstruction starts February 2026 and construction begins in 2027. The center is expected to create 15,000 jobs and generate over $42 billion in economic impact.
