NYU\u2019s departments of Sociology and Environmental Studies will relocate to 79 Washington Square East during the spring 2025 semester after a yearslong renovation of the former Goddard Hall, which once served as a residential building.<\/span><\/p>\n

The departments will move in late January and early February, university spokesperson John Beckman said in a statement to WSN. They had been located at the Puck Building at Houston and Lafayette Street, where the university held classes for more than two decades before its lease expired and rent increased. Bart Bonikowski, an associate professor of sociology and politics, said the move was initially scheduled for winter break but a delay in furniture delivery slowed the progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing so close to the beating heart of downtown New York City is a sociologist\u2019s dream,\u201d Bonikowski said. \u201cThat alone will make the new space interesting for many of us. But besides that, having easy access to other parts of NYU should promote more frequent interaction \u2014 and collaboration \u2014 with colleagues and students at other departments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The renovation has involved several stages of demolition and interior renovations to transform the building into a suitable space for academic departments. Bonikowski said that while some faculty members initially felt partial to their Puck Building offices and were hesitant about the move, many contributed to the design process for the new building and adjusted to the idea with time. He said the most notable difference between the Puck Building and the new space is that the Sociology Department will now occupy three floors instead of one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have done our best to design the space in a way that promotes movement across the floors so that spontaneous interactions can be sustained,\u201d Bonikowski said. \u201cWe had occupied a single floor in the Puck Building, so routinely running into colleagues and students was a feature of daily life at the department. We want that to continue at Goddard as much as possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The university <\/span>first announced<\/span><\/a> plans to move in February 2022, when the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service \u2014 which was housed in the Puck Building with the other departments\u00a0 \u2014 relocated to 17th Street. The Sociology Department then began sharing a temporary space on Lafayette Street with NYU\u2019s Office of the Bursar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The university <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> its proposed $515 million Capital Budget in May, which included Goddard Hall\u2019s conversion into an academic building, as well as Rubin Hall\u2019s reopening and renovations to the Tandon School of Engineering. NYU spokesperson Joseph Tirella had told WSN that after the proposed budget would be reviewed by the university\u2019s board of trustees in June, the former residence hall\u2019s transformation would begin.<\/span><\/p>\n

NYU is also set to <\/span>expand<\/span><\/a> its College of Arts & Science into a new building on West Fourth Street in the next few months. The move will mark the university\u2019s first building dedicated solely to CAS, after it had been centralized at the Silver Center for Arts and Science since 1892.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
