Description Show more
Located on 11th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets, John Jay College of Criminal Justice’s new building provides all the functions of a traditional college campus within the confines of a single city block. The 625,000-square-foot building doubles the size of John Jay’s existing facilities by adding classrooms, laboratories, auditoriums, faculty offices, and student lounges. The new building addresses the College’s need for instructional and social spaces and creates a unified academic presence for the institution. The new building consists of a four-story, 500-foot long podium and 14-story tower. The podium, which provides connections to an existing academic building, Haaren Hall, contains dense social and academic programs and is topped by a 65,000-square-foot landscaped terrace that acts as a campus commons. The tower contains faculty offices, academic quads, a conference center, and instructional laboratories. The scale of the new building is similar to its adjacent buildings along 11th Avenue and provides a strong visual presence for the College from the West Side Highway.
