Souen Undergoes Big Renovation

We now know that the 13th St. parking garage will be converted into eight multimillion-condos, the priciest of which will be $20 million.

Striking barbers meet to talk things over at the north end of Union Square in 1913. Those were the days.

The scaffolding is now going up around Bowlmor Lanes. The end is nigh.

The McDonald’s on 6th Ave between 14th and 15th St. has been remodeled in a sleek and sexy European style.  Well worth a visit to see what the future of fast food looks like.

I write to remind all that the lower 8 floors of this building are still a construction site which is regulated by the Department of Buildings. New School has heard your complaints but at this time we do not control this site. It is our hope that when we take over the building we can make some necessary changes. The University Center is a LEED building with many energy saving designs incorporated into the building so that we will be good neighbors.

Next week (December 23rd to December 27th ), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on the academic floors inside the building. (Site closed on Christmas)

The following week (December 30th to January 3rd ), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on academic floors (Site closed on New Year’s Day)

This weekend the site will be open on Saturday and Sunday, December 21st and 22nd for interior activities between the work hours of 7AM and 7PM as permitted by the City.

Next week (April 22 to April 26), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building. We will be work on the new sidewalks around the building as well.

The following week (April 29 to May 3), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors.
