As a top ranked clinical and medical research center, Weill Cornell Medical College's facilities are expected to be the best and brightest, just like the faculty, staff and students who use them.
A renovation and update of the corridors of 1300 York Ave. that began in June is nearing completion. Existing walls and floors were cleaned and refinished while new lighting, ceilings and sprinklers were added to the existing infrastructure.
Project manager Jennifer McCartt says the project is about 90 percent completed. The area north of the Griffis Faculty Club—which will be receiving a new kitchen, expanded dining room and full-service bar with a 12-seat lounge—should be finished in a week or so, with the corridor portion in front of the club slated for completion at the end of October.
"We've upgraded the finishes throughout so we have a continuous and cohesive hall that matches the rest of the building," McCartt said.
