Columbia University Manhattanville Development Project
In 2012, Columbia University launched a 25-year plan to transform a 13-acre site in Upper Manhattan into dynamic academic and scientific research campus centered in west Harlem. Through its multi-billion-dollar Manhattanville Development Project, the University has structured a wide range of offerings to the local community including economic, educational and cultural programs as well as financial resources for local residents, businesses and institutions.
