The School of Architecture and Design received a $1 million grant from the IDC Foundation, a legacy of the Institute of Design and Construction, bringing its total support of New York Tech to more than $4.2 million.

“The school has benefited tremendously over the years from the generous support from the IDC Foundation and the confidence of our university leadership in our ability to grow in leaps and bounds. We now stand at a pivotal moment, poised to advance architectural education and research in unprecedented ways,” says Maria Perbellini, M.Arch., dean of the School of Architecture and Design.

“The IDC Foundation is pleased to be able to support this transformational initiative at New York Tech,” says Raymond R. Savino, president of the IDC Foundation. “We are especially excited that this initiative will link groundbreaking research with interdisciplinary collaboration. We look forward to the dynamic innovations that will emerge from New York Tech’s students and faculty.”

Rapid technological advancements are transforming the way architects and designers conceive, design, and construct the built environment. The three-year grant will support the establishment of the IDC Institute for Design Research and Innovation, encompassing School of Architecture and Design facilities, labs, and centers on the Long Island and New York City campuses, acting as the center point for stimulating interdisciplinary collaboration, technological innovation, and the advancement of architectural and design education.
