Runze Zhang's Trip

In 2010, the City of New York announced its intention to create a new or expanded applied sciences and engineering campus in New York City. Cornell University, in conjunction with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, submitted a joint bid and was selected from seven eligible proposals from 17 world-class institutions. Cornell Tech's location on Roosevelt Island in New York City began opening in 2017.

The Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Center is the main building of Cornell Tech. The interior of the building contains a number of modern classrooms, study areas, a café, and offices. The cafe here has Cornell Dairy's famous ice cream delivered from Cornell University's Ithaca campus.

One third of The Tata Innovation Center is devoted to classrooms, laboratories, and academic research space. The other area is Cornell Tech's office for technology companies, startups, and investment firms. Cornell Tech's Studio project allows all students to participate in entrepreneurial teams. Each year, the most successful team will receive a free year of office space in the Tata Innovation Center provided by Cornell Tech.
