Voorhees Hall in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn is the home of the Architectural Technology Department at New York City College of Technology, known as City Tech. The department's 2020 program report calls it that. The School of Technology and Design is primarily based here.
The name comes from the Voorhees Technical Institute, founded in 1880 as part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Schools. It was known as the New York Trade School until 1961 and kept its own building at 450 West 41st Street until 1987. City Tech took it over in 1971.
The report says Voorhees Hall recently received a new exterior curtain wall enclosure, a refurbished lobby and cafeteria, and updated elevators. It has an open computer lab with advanced software, where architecture students are hired to mentor others, and studios upgraded with new equipment.
