Eight graduate architecture students visited New York City on Sept. 20 to conduct research for an architecture studio assignment. The assignment requires them to design a "Chinese in America Cultural Center" for a site in the city. The multi-story building will replace the current "Museum of Chines in America," located in New York's Chinatown. The students' designs will expand the existing building on a new site just a few blocks away, on the border of Chinatown and Little Italy.

The students visited the existing museum with studio Professor Michael J. Crosbie, and then spent time doing reconnaissance at the proposed new site. A preliminary design presentation will take place on Oct. 14 in the graduate architecture studio located in Department of Architecture in the Harry Jack Gray Center. The entire University community is invited to attend.
