NYU projects range in nature from minor renovation work to major projects requiring new buildings. Many of NYU's buildings are over 50 years old and require extensive upgrading to their electrical and plumbing when renovating due to the new technology and building codes now in effect. Unique solutions are always required when unanticipated problems arise to ensure any possible delays are minimized. Projects at NYU include new classrooms, upgraded libraries, lecture halls, file storage, lab rooms and food service areas.
