"We have always wanted to convey how helpful we are to
students, and now our environment matches our objective,"
said Katie Olsen, associate director of advising on the New
York campus. "We have increased our staff, we're doing more
direct outreach to students, and in turn we are seeing more
of them."
The inviting open design features large windows, glass
walls, and natural light, and the suite is easily accessible from
the building's central access point.
Officially named the Dyson Entrance, the main entry has
moved—or returned—to Spruce Street, directly across from One
Pace Plaza. The change restores the original building entrance
from when 41 Park Row was home to The New York Times. For
today's visitors, it eases travel between two of the campus's
main buildings.
A more modern Pace Plaza
One Pace Plaza itself has also been updated, with a new stu-
dent center awash in natural light and modern study pods.
Additionally, an entirely redesigned entrance has been
improved for easier access and security. It now includes modern
automated turnstiles, also installed in the 41 Park Row building.
At the official ribbon cutting, Manhattan Borough President
Gale Brewer commented that the space "opens up new
possibilities for students and faculty to collaborate and for all
New Yorkers to benefit."
Dean Nira Herrmann echoed that sentiment: "We are
thrilled with the new spaces in 41 Park Row," she said. "The
renovations have given our nineteenth-century building a
new twenty-first century spark while preserving its historical
foundation."
