Months of negotiations between Cornell University and the City of Ithaca’s Board of Public Works regarding the impending construction of Milstein Hall may have come to an end this Wednesday when Cornell announced a new design for Milstein Hall, one that would not involve construction on both sides University Avenue.
The new plans, similar to the previous ones, include a structure that crosses University Avenue. However, as the building was formerly supported by columns on the opposite side of the street, it now is supported by a cantilever, a structural beam which supports the building from one side.
