The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) has released a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) from higher-education institutions seeking to lease, develop and operate 20,000 square feet of space at the Research Yard, a research and innovation facility within the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Qualified educational institutions are encouraged to apply if they are interested in leveraging their applied research expertise to tackle real-world problems and advance technological solutions.
Established in 2023, in partnership with the Pratt Institute and the City University of New York’s City College of Technology, the Research Yard is the Navy Yard’s onsite applied research and learning facility. Development of the Research Yard was divided into two phases.
Phase I included the build-out of 21,000 square feet of space that currently houses the Pratt Center for Community Development, the Center for Climate Adaption, the STEAMplant, the Spatial Analysis and Visualization Initiative Center, among other mission-aligned partners. BNYDC is now seeking a new academic partner to lease, develop and operate Phase II of the Research Yard.
