The Roosevelt Island Cornell Tech campus and new Tech Cafe were originally scheduled to open on Monday July 17. However, the campus and cafe public opening has been delayed for a few days. According to a Cornell Tech spokesperson the campus and Cafe opening:

... will be a rolling process over the next couple weeks,...

and students/staff will begin moving into the Residential building starting August 1.

I took a walk around the Cornell Tech construction site on Saturday, July 15. Here's a brief look



and a longer walk



around the campus perimeter.

On Monday, a tour of the campus was given to visiting Mayors

were seen in front of the Bloomberg Center Academic building.

Cornell Tech is almost ready for business and public viewing.
