New physics facilities

A $2.5‐million gift from a New York investment banker will provide for the construction of a new physics building at New York University's Washington Square Center. The André and Bella Meyer Hall of Physics will be an eleven‐storey structure occupying a block‐long site. Preliminary plans call for 120 000 square feet of lecture and seminar rooms, laboratories, and faculty offices. When completed, the building will form part of a science complex being developed near the University.
