THE CUNY MASTER PLAN 2012-2016 Queensborough, and roof replacement and bathroom upgrades at Hostos. These efforts will continue as projects are completed and new issues arise. The third initiative involves financing and developing new CUNY facilities through public/private partnerships. • Residence Halls: In 2006, CUNY opened its first public/private residence hall on the City College campus. In fall 2011 the Towers at City, a 589-bed residence hall, was 91 percent occupied. In 2009, Queens College opened the Summit, a 506-bed residence hall on campus, which had a fall 2011 occupancy rate of 98 percent. The Graduate Center Apartments, offering bright, modern, airy, and affordable housing for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and members of the faculty opened in fall 2011 (100 percent occupancy). Additionally, the College of Staten Island has a 454-bed residence hall designed and ready for financing in early 2012. The University is exploring opportunities for the Manhattan colleges to occupy a shared facility. • Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College: Opened in fall 2011, the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College involved the purchase of a property in East Harlem in order to relocate the Silberman School from its current leased facility on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. A new 147,000-square-foot building was constructed on the purchased land to provide the school with a permanent, owned facility. This public/private partnership was made possible through the sale of the leased facility on East 79th Street, including the school’s lease interest at that site, to a developer who was required to build the new facility in East Harlem before taking possession of the 79th Street building. • New York Simulation Center for Health Sciences: Also opened in fall 2011, the New York Simulation Center for Health Sciences is a joint venture between CUNY and New York University (NYU) Langone Medical Center. The Simulation Center, located on a floor at Bellevue Hospital, is the largest state-of-the-art training facility for first responders, emergency response workers, health care students, and professionals in the nation. CUNY provided the capital dollars for the renovation of the space, and NYU will provide an equivalent amount in operating funds, anticipated to cover the first decade of operations. Funding for this project was made available through Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who saw the need for a training center following 9/11; he appropriated $10.5 million in the state budget, which was matched by Mayor Bloomberg in the city budget.

MISSION PART FOUR • CUNY Law School: A new facility for the CUNY Law School is currently undergoing renovations, to be completed and ready for classes in summer 2012. The existing Law School building is a converted junior high school that was modified, but not completely renovated, for the Law School’s use. That facility is difficult to access using public transportation and does not function well for program delivery. Therefore, consideration was given to relocating to another site in Queens that could be designed specifically to meet the Law School’s needs. Through a solicitation process, several developers proposed sites throughout Queens, including Citigroup, owners of 2 Court Square, an office building and training facility in Long Island City. The purchase of a 260,000-square-foot condominium unit in 2 Court Square provided the optimal solution, because it was a built facility with limited need for renovations. Many of the space types required for program delivery were already built out and relocation could occur more quickly than had CUNY constructed a new building. Additionally, the building’s location provides accessibility to mass transit that will permit the Law School to develop a part-time evening program and to provide greater pro-bono legal representation throughout the five boroughs.

In May 2011, NCC took occupancy of leased space at 50 West 40th Street in midtown Manhattan, which formerly housed a branch of the Katherine Gibbs School. This building was chosen for its convenient location and space configuration. The existing arrangement of classrooms, offices, library space, and gathering spaces can easily accommodate NCC in its early years; additionally, the building borders Bryant Park, which provides a type of campus. Because the leased facility can only accommodate approximately 1,200 full-time students, the University also has a long-term plan for NCC at 1 Amsterdam Avenue, near 59th Street in Manhattan. This site is 93
