university, founded in 1854. A private, co-educational institution, Polytechnic has a distinguished history in electrical engineering, polymer chemistry, aerospace and microwave engineering. Currently, it is a leader in telecommunications, information science and technology management. The University is also known for its outstanding research centers as well as its outreach programs to encourage math and science education in New York elementary and high schools. In addition to its main campus at MetroTech Center in Brooklyn, Polytechnic offers programs at sites throughout the region, including Long Island, Manhattan and Westchester. Additionally, the University offers several programs in Israel. On August 7, 2007, Polytechnic University and New York University (NYU) announced that the two institutions are engaged in merger discussions. In October, 2007, NYU’s Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees of Polytechnic University have both approved their continuing to move forward toward a merger of NYU and Polytechnic University.

Polytechnic played a leadership role in bringing about MetroTech Center, one of the
largest urban university-corporate parks in the world and the largest in the
United States. Today, the 16 acre (65,000 m²), $1 billion complex is home to the
University and several technology-dependent companies, including KeySpan Energy,
Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Bear Stearns and Company, Securities Industries
Automation Corporation, New York City Police Department's 911 Center, New
York City Fire Department Headquarters and the U.S. technology and operations functions
of JPMorgan Chase. In 1998, a Marriott Hotel was built adjacent to MetroTech.
MetroTech has proven to be a case study in university, corporate, government
and private-developer cooperation, and has resulted in renewing an area that
once had been a site of urban decay. |
