New York University, The John A. Paulson Center

With Davis Brody Bond and KieranTimberlake • New York, NY • LEED® Gold Certified

Recognizing the critical need to effectively accommodate the expanding range of its academic programs, New York University (NYU) engaged the renowned architectural firms Davis Brody Bond and KieranTimberlake to replace its existing one-story Coles Sports Center with a modern, mixed-use development. This new facility is designed to hold a diverse array of performing arts programs, rehearsal studios, and versatile performance venues. Additionally, it will provide housing options for first-year students as well as faculty accommodations. Spacesmith played a crucial role in this project by expertly designing and selecting all the furnishings for the expansive 735,000 square foot building. In addition to addressing the functional and aesthetic aspects of the design, our dedicated team was tasked with specifying furniture that incorporates low-emitting materials and third-party testing in order to assist with obtaining LEED® certification, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and wellness.
