NEW YORK CITY—Metropolitan College of New York plans to relocate to 40 Rector St.—occupying approximately 110,000 square feet—in 2016. The school will move to the site from 431 Canal St., in Hudson Square after a build-out next year. Identities of the brokers on the deal were not available at press time.
The project is financed by tax-exempt bonds through the Build NYC Resource Corp., a program of the Empire State Development Corp. The new facility will house MCNY's Manhattan campus on the sixth, seventh and eigth floors with a ground-floor entrance lobby, admissions office and conference center.
“MCNY is delighted to announce a new permanent home in Lower Manhattan,” says Vinton Thompson, president, Metropolitan College of New York. “This facility will support our professional degree programs in the areas of business, human services, healthcare management, public administration, emergency management, education and urban studies.”
MCNY, formerly Audrey Cohen College and the College for Human Services, was founded in 1964 and has operated at four lower Manhattan addresses over the years.
The College also offers programs in the Bronx at 529 Courtlandt Ave. and is building a new full-service Bronx Campus in Triangle Plaza Hub at 459 E. 149th St.
