Columbia's Moment

<p>jerome l. green science center is set to be complete in 2012, but most of the rest of the academic works for phase I wont be done until 2015, which probably means groundbreaking sometime in early 2012 (with the bathtub and other subterranean features starting next year). because the b-school has funding for its buildings, it may be able to finish earlier, done by 2014? SOA and SIPA need to get fundraising done for their own buildings, and will be close to the 2015 date (sometime).</p>

<p>phase II is a lot less clear, primarily it will just be sort of additional science initiatives and new housing units for grads/faculty (a lot is tbd). officially they list completion date by 2030. it is also land mostly on the northern end of the site, so it will fill in that campus. it will also include a rather nice park area that most people think will be the heart of the new campus. </p>

<p>if this fascinates you as much as it fascinates me…
