NEW YORK CITY—The New York City location of the University of Rochester's Simon Business School has struck a unique co-location agreement to move from Midtown to the Tribeca campus of New York Law School this summer.

The business school—which had been located in the commercial office building at 1601 Broadway—will move its NYC administrative offices and academic course offerings to the NYLS facility. Students will be able to take advantage of the classrooms, library, meeting and event spaces, and other amenities of NYLS' high-tech urban campus, located at 185 W. Broadway (at Leonard street). The move to Lower Manhattan will provide students with direct access to Wall Street and will create the only co-located law school and business school under one roof in the city.

"The Simon School's administrative and faculty offices will occupy an 1,800-square-foot self-contained suite," Anthony Crowell, president and dean of New York Law School told GlobeSt.com. "Students, faculty and staff will have 200,000-plus square feet of the NYLS campus for classes, events, conferences, and on-campus recruiting activities. Unlike the school's former NYC home, Simon's new location will facilitate growth to harness the benefits, opportunities, and networks that lower Manhattan specifically, and New York City generally, have to offer.”

He continues, “Lower Manhattan is the epicenter both for business and law in the global economy. The co-location of NYLS and the Simon Business School's NYC Center creates a unique opportunity to harness the synergies that exist between the two institutions.”

Adds University of Rochester president Joel Seligman, “We are delighted to be moving our New York City specialized master's courses to the New York Law School campus. NYLS has a proud 125-year history of legal education and offers premier facilities and a central location for our students and alumni in the Tri-state area.”

“This is a tremendous new home for Simon's New York City graduate business educational optionswith exciting potential to expand our reach,” notes Simon Business School dean Andrew Ainslie. “NYLS and the University of Rochester have in common a deep heritage with a combined 280 years of serving our respective communities. This is the start of a great relationship.”
