The Gould Memorial Library
and Hall of Fame are Beaux-Arts
landmarks designed by the great
Stanford White at the turn of
the last century. The interior of
the library is richly decorated
in marble, stone, mosaic, wood,
bronze, and Tiffany glass,
and features one of the most
breathtaking rotundas in the
city. The Hall of Fame, wrapping
around the back of the library on a
bluff overlooking the Harlem River,
is a colonnade with busts of noted
scientists, writers, politicians, and
many other important American
figures. Part of the undergraduate
campus of New York University
from 1900-1973, the buildings are
now part of the Bronx Community
College. STANFORD WHITE, 1900.

In 1956 Marcel Breuer was asked
to develop a comprehensive design
for re-planning the NYU campus
at this site. From 1959-1970, five
buildings were built based on the
design and planning of Breuer and
his associates Hamilton Smith
and Robert F. Gatje. Take a rare
tour of the complex, including
Begrisch Hall, a highly distinctive
building that features a pair of
sloping cantilevers that spring from
side-wall trusses and appear to
defy gravity. These bold sculptural
forms enclose a pair of steepfloored
lecture halls, seating a
combined 250 students.

Architects from Robert A.M. Stern
Architects will be on-site to speak
about the building throughout
the day.
This brand new building provides
state-of-the-art classrooms and
a double-height library in a threestory
structure that completes the
north side of the college’s main
quadrangle. The south facade,
facing the quad, is an elegant foil
both to the exuberance of the
Gould Memorial Library and the
severity of Marcel Breuer’s Meister
Hall. The interior features a double
row of barrel vaults supported by
slender columns, inspired by Henri
Labrouste’s Bibliothèque Sainte-
Genevieve in Paris.
