The 11-story, state-of-the-art facility, planned for 433 First Ave., will be 170,000-square-feet large and 183-feet high, according to an NYU spokesman. The previous building on the site, which was used for administrative and academic office for the school’s College of Dentistry, was demolished in September. Construction of the new property is slated to begin in the spring. Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates is designing the exterior, while EYP Architecture & Engineering is working on the interior design. When the facility is complete, NYU’s nursing school will move from its current home in Greenwich Village. There will also be space for a new multi-school bioengineering program and an expanded dental school. It is slated to open in 2015. NYU declined to say how much the new building will cost, but published reports pegged it at roughly $140 million. The area is already home to a cluster of health-related University programs, including the NYU College of Dentistry, and the NYU Langone Medical Center, which encompasses the NYU Hospitals Center and the NYU School of Medicine
The NYU Shanghai curriculum will include a variety of majors in the Life and Behavioral Sciences (such as Neural Science), the Physical Sciences (such as Chemistry and Physics), Social Sciences (including Business and Finance), Mathematical and Engineering Sciences (including Computer Science and Electrical Engineering), and the Humanities. As members of NYU's global network, students at NYU Shanghai will be expected to spend at least one semester and up to three semesters pursuing their studies at the other NYU global academic centers. In this way students will have the opportunity to pursue major-specific courses in New York or Abu Dhabi with professors from those campuses. In addition, the study-away sites will offer special opportunities for a semester abroad.

John Raymond, President Polytechnic Institute 1858
NYU-Poly was formerly Polytechnic University (which itself was formerly the Polytechnic Institute of New York) and it currently maintains a formal affiliation with NYU, allowing NYU to complete the transition for Poly to become their school of engineering and applied science (see NYU Affiliation below).[27]
Timeline
The official timeline for the Institute is maintained on Poly at a Glance: the Poly Timeline.[28]
A group of Brooklyn businessmen drew up a charter on May 17, 1853, to establish a school for young men.
In 1854, the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute was chartered and moved into its first home at 99 Livingston Street.
In 1855, the school opened its doors September 10 to 265 young men, ages nine to 17. From 1889 to 1973 it was known as "Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn" (but often referred to as "PIB" or "Brooklyn Poly").
Baccalaureate degrees were conferred for the first time in 1871.
Postgraduate programs began in 1901.
In 1917, the preparatory program was separated from Institute and renamed the Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School, or Poly Prep for short. It is located in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn.Polytechnic Institute Electrostatic Laboratory 1903-1904
In 1957, Poly moved to its present location (333 Jay Street, the former site of the American Safety Razor factory), and became a co-educational institution.
In 1973, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn acquired the faculty and programs of New York University’s School of Engineering and Science to form Polytechnic Institute of New York after NYU was forced to sell the University Heights campus (where the engineering school was situated) because of financial hardships.
Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT) established in 1983.
In 1985, the school gained university status and its name was changed to Polytechnic University.
In 2008, Polytechnic changed its name to Polytechnic Institute of New York University when it affiliated with New York University, to align itself to become its school for engineering and applied sciences.File:Polyinst.JPGPolytechnic Institute 1957
