Campaign to Build Powell Hall Releases New Video

Powell Hall video, click hereWith the release of the new video, Colin L. Powell Hall: Through These Doors, CCNY moves forward its campaign to build Colin L. Powell Hall on the CCNY campus. Colin L. Powell Hall will provide significant new space for the City College campus as well as a new home for the Colin Powell Center. The building will also be an enduring tribute to the values and leadership of General Colin L. Powell, a distinguished CCNY alumnus. 

Designed by Ennead Architects, a New York City-based firm known for its design of the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center and the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History, Powell Hall will rise five stories at the heart of the City College campus. A vigorous campaign is now under way to assist with Powell Hall's construction. To learn more, watch the video.
