“这座大楼旨在将学生、教师与行业紧密联系在一起。”Brown校长表示，“它象征着改变人生的机遇，也是城市与州府共同投资公共高等教育的卓越成果。我希望未来的一代代领导者能在此孕育创意社区，在这里探索、创新，并在全球经济与世界舞台上留下持久影响。”

“This building was designed to bring students, faculty and the industry together,” said President Joyce F. Brown. “It is a symbol of opportunity to transform lives, and the remarkable outcome of the partnership between the City and State to invest in public higher education. My hope is that future generations of leaders will use this space to foster a creative community and to explore, innovate, and make a lasting impact on the global economy and the world.”

由SHoP Architects设计的这座10层、超过10万平方英尺的新建筑，将Brown博士的愿景化为现实。引人注目的玻璃幕墙为校园带来全新的目的地——在这里，FIT的活力向外界可见，体现了学院作为城市创意核心的重要角色。项目由纽约州、纽约市以及多位个人与企业支持者共同出资，体现了各方对加强公共高等教育、支持下一代时尚与创意产业人才的共同承诺。

Designed by SHoP Architects, the 10-story, 100,000-plus-square-foot building brings Dr. Brown’s vision to life. A striking glass façade creates a new kind of campus destination—one where the energy of FIT is visible to the outside, reflecting the college’s vital role at the heart of the city’s creative community. The project was funded by New York State, New York City, and a distinguished roster of individual and corporate supporters, as part of a shared commitment to strengthening public higher education and supporting the next generation of talent for the fashion and creative industries.

大楼内部包括26间高能效教室与工作室、行政办公空间，以及全美高校中最大的编织实验室。同时，建筑内首次设立了专为课堂外人际交流而设计的室内公共空间——一整层的学生共享区，层高达20英尺，并通过一条快速扶梯抵达FIT对环境管理的承诺也体现在建筑的设计与建造中，大楼预计将获得LEED金级认证。

The building’s features include 26 energy-efficient classrooms and studios, administrative offices, and the largest campus knitting lab in the U.S. The space also houses FIT’s first interior space designed specifically for interpersonal connection outside the classroom—a full-floor student commons under a 20-foot-high ceiling, accessible via an express escalator. FIT’s commitment to environmental stewardship is reflected in the design and construction of the building, which is projected to attain LEED Gold certification.
