NYU in

As Brooklyn evolves into a powerful driver of ’s innovation economy, NYU is helping cement its position as a global leader in academics and technology. That’s good for everyone—from greentech companies in Gowanus to college hope- fuls in Canarsie.

Academic Programs with an Economic Impact

Situated together in , NYU’s technological initiatives will train stu- dents to develop their potential and help new businesses set down strong local roots.

• The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, ranked among the nation’s foremost en- gineering programs for salary potential and ROI, named the #2 non-HBCU school for minorities by Diverse Issues in Higher Education, and designated a Best Northeastern College by the Princeton Review.

• CUSP, the Center for Urban Science & Progress, a world leader in the burgeoning field of urban informatics.

Economic Generators

• CUSP and NYU Engineering will orient the world marketplace for urban infor- matics on Brooklyn—targeting an industry estimated to exceed $100 billion in the near term.

• NYU’s incubators are a magnet for the best and brightest in the tech commu- nity. They give rise to successful new companies, and attract global attention with research developments and events like the World Science Festival and the Northside Start-Up Campus.

• The NYC Economic Development Corporation estimates that CUSP alone may generate over $5.5 billion in overall economic impact over the next three decades—including 900 permanent jobs and 200 spinoff companies.

• NYU School of Engineering incubator companies have raised over $60 mil- lion in new capital from venture and angel funds as well as other investors. More than 900 new jobs have been created by businesses that have come through NYU incubators.

This is the exactly what our city needs to be competitive on the global front. –Assembly Member Joan Millman

Active Community Partners

• The NYU School of Engineering’s Center for K12 STEM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) partners with 17 Central Brooklyn schools and approximately 40 teachers. It has mentored and educated more than 1,500 K-12 students through its GK-12 fellows program over the last five years.

• The NYU School of Engineering is the only partner of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and a supporter of many local schools’ year-round robotics programs.

• The NYU School of Engineering offers a variety of programs to train high school teachers from the New York Metropolitan area, including Research Ex- perience for Teachers programs funded by the National Science Foundation.

• Currently, 190 NYU students provide 30,000 hours of tutoring a year in read- ing and math in 16 Brooklyn public schools through its America Reads/Ameri- can Counts program. This is the exactly what our city needs to be competitive on the global front. –Assembly Member Joan Millman 370 Jay Street NYU is transforming 370 Jay Street into a global center for science, technology, and education—and a driving force in Brooklyn’s economic revolution.

Breathing New Life into 370 Jay Street NYU is working with the City of New York to redevelop the long-empty building at 370 Jay Street. The renovation reflects NYU’s approach to growing in Brooklyn – we are developing infrastructure that fits into the fabric of the neighborhood and programs that benefit the borough, the city, and the region. Why Renovate? Centralizing our science, technology, education, and startup programs will create new opportunities for engineers, innovators, and entrepreneurs. This means father-reaching, more powerful solutions to the challenges facing our societies and cities.

The Renovation Plan In a five-year process involving approvals from the Public Design Commission, NYU is creating space for academic programs, student life and services centers, business incubators, and administrative offices. Construction is expected to begin in 2015 and complete by 2017. • Three entire floors will be dedicated for CUSP, NYU’s internationally renowned urban data research center. • Our thriving business incubators, currently spread throughout the city, will be co-located in spaces designed to fit the specific needs of their programs. • Below, 14,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space will help revitalize the building’s iconic arcade and surrounding streetscape.
