The RLab, composed of 16,500 square feet of co-working labs, classrooms, studios, and more, is the first city-funded center for research, entrepreneurship and education in virtual and augmented-reality, spatial computing and other emerging media technologies in the U.S.
NYCEDC and the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment selected NYU
Tandon School of Engineering as the administering institution and a consortium of participating universities, including Columbia University, CUNY, and The New School to manage and operate the space, along with a workforce development center at CUNY Lehman College in the Bronx. The new multi-university center is critical to the City’s plans to establish New York City as the next global leader in VR/AR and related technologies and will create hundreds of new jobs in the field.
