Work will begin in June inside the 1902 structure, which bridges the east and west wings of Sibley Hall, anchoring the north side of the Arts Quad. When completed in 12 to 18 months, the interior will feature not only the 100-seat “hanging” classroom, but a “Collaborative Commons” area for students to gather and work together; and flexible studios and spaces for the Department of Design Tech and the Cornell Mui Ho Center for Cities. The existing Green Dragon café (following its temporary relocation), administrative offices and the John Hartell Gallery will reopen as construction is finished.
