The New Northrop will increase by 50% the amount of public study and collaborative space on the East Bank, and be a global platform that uses the latest technologies to engage the world's most innovative thinkers, connecting the University with world-wide audiences, and enabling academic, cultural, and civic programs to build upon existing initiatives.
