Roosevelt Island 3



When I saw photographs of the new Bloomberg Center  at Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island,

 I figured I would head over to take a closer look.  

The building is named for Emma & Georgina Bloomberg after a $100 million donation from the Bloomberg Foundation.

The idea for the university was Bloomberg's when he was mayor. 
 

A way to bring tech startups to the city.
The building is very flashy with lots of cool angles and reflections.  

Awesome! 

But as always, one of the things you notice most when you go to Roosevelt Island are the views of Manhattan.  

This one brought home how much the new buildings are changing the familiar skyline of Manhattan.  

And this one is a twofer, with an Edward bonus - Freedom Tower and American Cooper Buildings.  

Here are two previous blogs about Roosevelt Island...



Enjoy!
