Here is the summer newsletter from the New School giving all sorts of info about the new building. Let them eat cake!
The scaffolding is now going up around Bowlmor Lanes. The end is nigh.
Next week (June 17 to June 21), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building. We will be working on the new sidewalks around the building on 13th st. as well as taking the sidewalk shed down on 13th st. Additionally we will be working on the roofs of the building.
The following week (June 24 to June 28), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors as well as sidewalk work.
This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, June 15th for interior, roof, and sidewalk activities between the work hours of 7AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.
The original location of New York mini-chain Heartland Brewery is slated to close on January 1. The Post reports that the building at 35 Union Square West has a new owner who is asking for more than the Heartland team can afford to pay. Owner Jon Bloostein says that when he opened the pub in 1994, the rent was $150,000 a year, but now the new landlord is asking for about $2 million a year.
When the New School builds its new building on the corner, one of its major uses will be to house a consolidated Parsons School of Fashion Design, which is currently scattered among many midtown buildings. That’s according to the New School student newspaper. So expect even more groovily dressed teens outside our front doors.
