PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Cornell University, in partnership with Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, was selected by the City of New York to develop a new engineering campus on Roosevelt Island. The campus, just south of the Queensboro Bridge, is being developed in phases, and will consist of approximately two million square feet of development when fully built. PHA prepared the ULURP application and map change drawings required to establish the new loop road on the city map and connect the campus to the existing public street system. The firm coordinated extensively with NYCDOT to provide design services related to the transportation and infrastructure components of the project. This included final design of the new loop road including new sanitary and storm sewers, water mains and electric and gas utilities. PHA’s scope also included on-site grading and drainage design and stormwater management, as well as providing construction inspection services for the utilities and roadways.
