Cooper Union - Morphosis

The Cooper Union is a privately-funded college in Manhattan that adopts a radical model to higher education by admitting all students wholly on merit, with full tuition scholarships, reflecting the Peter Cooper's belief that high quality education should be free to all, regardless of race, religion or social class.

 

The New Academic Building, completed in 2009 by Thom Mayne / Morphosis Architecture, is the first academic/lab building in New York City to meet LEED Platinum. The first 8 stories house classrooms, labs, faculty offices and student lounge space, the top floor (9th) houses a studio for the School of Art.
