Through a unique partnership with Devco,
Rutgers continues to expand its presence in the downtown. This project,
located in the George Street redevelopment area, will house the
University's extensive Public Safety operations. The design of the
75,000 sq. ft. facility will complement the scale and architecture
of the surrounding neighborhood. As an extension of the heart of
downtown New Brunswick, the George Street corridor provides direct
access to Route 18 and also serves as a direct link between Rutgers'
main College Avenue campus and the Douglass and Cook College campuses
at the southern edge of the city. In addition to substantial office
square footage programmed for current and future use, the project
includes both secured parking for public safety vehicles as well
as structured parking for various university users, including staff,
faculty, students and visitors.
