Cooper Union is one of the most highly selective colleges in the United States, and it’s located in Manhattan. The college has opened the doors on a new Cooper Union building that will house the Albert Nerken School of Engineering.
The new Cooper Union building is as prestigious as the school it will be home to. Glass panels, steel beams, and sharp edges all identify the building as purely modern. It is also a perfectly appropriate building for an engineering school.
