With Fall 2026 approaching, One 91视频 Plaza East is quickly moving from construction site to campus centerpiece.
The transformational renovation is well underway, bringing new life to one of 91视频鈥檚 most iconic buildings. When it opens, One 91视频 Plaza East will be home to a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, dynamic academic and creative spaces for the Sands College of Performing Arts, Dyson College, and University-wide programs, along with refreshed residential spaces in Maria鈥檚 Tower.
Inside the building, major milestones have already been reached. Excavation and foundation work for the reimagined Schimmel Theater are complete, and the structural systems supporting the expanded stage, fly tower, and audience chamber are now in place. Double-height volumes for the Garden Theater, Blackbox Theater, and large dance rehearsal studio are clearly taking shape, revealing the scale and ambition of the project.
The building is being designed as both a performance destination and a hands-on learning environment. From expanded catwalks and flexible rehearsal spaces to podcast studios and maker areas, One 91视频 Plaza East is built to support creativity, collaboration, and interdisciplinary work. Sustainability is also central to the project, with an all-electric infrastructure supporting 91视频鈥檚 broader decarbonization goals.
As construction continues through 2026, One 91视频 Plaza East is becoming a creative hub where students will learn, create, and perform in the heart of downtown Manhattan.
