NYC Workspace

NOTE: Cornell faculty and staff who want to use the space should contact Basil Safi, the Einhorn Center’s executive director, at bas363@cornell.edu or (607) 254-5456 about the latest COVID-19 policies and safety measures. The space is currently closed to non-Cornell partners and guests.

 

The Einhorn Center is leasing a workspace at 570 Lexington Avenue (at 51st Street) in Manhattan for work related to Cornell’s public engagement mission. This NYC workspace is available to faculty, staff and community partners leading or participating in community-engaged learning, extension, outreach and public-service projects.

The space includes an individual cubicle/desk, a collaborative worktable, conference rooms, quiet work rooms, cell phone booths and classrooms.

If you have questions, contact Basil Safi, the Einhorn Center’s executive director, at bas363@cornell.edu or (607) 254-5456.


Who Can Use the Space?

The building is one of Cornell’s hubs in New York City. The ILR School administers the 11th and 12th floors, which house ILR’s New York City–based programs and NYC Conference Center along with ten Cornell units with co-locator access.

  • Have you received grant or award funding from the Einhorn Center (formerly the Office of Engagement Initiatives and the Cornell Public Service Center)? You can request to use the space.
  • Are you an Engaged Faculty Fellow? Yes, you’re eligible.
  • Is your work related to extension, outreach, public service or community-engaged learning, but you haven’t received funding from the Einhorn Center? You’re eligible, too.
  • Are you a community partner collaborating on any of the above? You’re welcome as well. (Note that community partners can request access to the space directly, but their Cornell partners will need to book meeting rooms on their behalf.)

 

Intended Activities

Cornell affiliates and their partners can use the space to host meetings, work individually, work collaboratively, prepare/print materials, participate in video/phone conferences and other activities.

Available Workspaces

The Einhorn Center-managed cubicle and collaborative workspace are only available to people working on the above activities. The other rooms and spaces are shared among the co-locating units.

Workspaces are generally available weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To book space outside these hours, contact Basil Safi at bas363@cornell.edu or (607) 254-5456
