New York City refers to its tech scene as "Silicon Alley," but now it's getting a giant new Cornell tech campus... on an island, between Manhattan and Queens. I'm going to leave the naming issue for the locals. The campus itself is going to be quite impressive, judging by the few details available, mostly via an article in architecture web site Arch Daily from October.Beyond the larger goal of making the city more of a tech hub, the focus will be creating a "sustainable landmark" on the 2 mile by .15 mile landmass on the East River, the article explains. A quarter of the 2 million square foot campus will be green space available to the public, while the sun-oriented layout will include the largest solar panel array in the city. That's not all on the environmental front. There'll be four acres of geothermal wells, and a 150,000 square foot main academic building with a net-zero energy footprint.
