The School of Architecture has held exhibitions in its Third Floor Hallway Gallery for over three decades. Hallway shows typically feature work by faculty, invited guests, and students, as well as material from the Architecture Archive, The Cooper Union Library, and other local design collections. Three shows are typically presented each fall and spring semester; all are open to the public. 
 
The gallery is located in The Cooper Union’s Foundation Building along a heavily trafficked corridor connecting the School’s design studios. Past exhibitions include:

     – Other Wood Pieces (2024)
     – Jimenez Lai: Hall of Monsters (2024)
     – Beyond the Frame—SITU Research (2022)

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
