The virtual town hall event is being held in collaboration with Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who represents parts of Manhattan and The Bronx in the 13th congressional district, Assembly Member Carmen De La Rosa who represents parts of Manhattan, State Sen.

During spring semester 2021, CUNY in the Heights remains closed for renovation in order to improve its facilities and learning environment. The renovation is part of BMCC’s on-going efforts to bring more educational opportunities to neighborhoods by creating multiple pathways to degrees and careers with family-sustaining wages.

 

The renovation project is an expansion of the facility that will double the number of existing classrooms and triple the number of available classroom seats. The expanded facility has been designed to adopt the principles of universal design in order to meet the accessibility needs of all, while creating a physical environment that is functional and aesthetically pleasing.

 

The upper level expansion will include amenities such as, an open student lounge with access to natural light, a quiet study area and three (3) state-of-the-art flexible classrooms that provide access to computer stations at every desk, with the added flexibility of a standard instructional set-up, allowing the students to put away the monitor for additional desk area and an unobstructed view of the instructor.
