1 Pace Plaza, University building in Lower Manhattan, United States
1 Pace Plaza is an 18-story university building in Lower Manhattan housing classrooms, offices, a student center, and a residence hall with capacity for around 500 students. The structure contains dining facilities, study spaces, recreational areas, and the Schimmel Center for the Arts with performance and exhibition spaces.
The building opened in 1970 and replaced an earlier newspaper office that had occupied the site. Its construction was part of a broader effort to redevelop the Lower Manhattan area during that decade.
The Schimmel Center for the Arts hosts theater productions and performances throughout the year. These events bring together students and visitors who explore contemporary and classical works in the center's main auditorium.
The building sits directly across from City Hall and near the Brooklyn Bridge, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors should check the schedule of events and exhibitions before coming, as hours vary by program and season.
A copper sculpture titled Brotherhood of Man by artists Nehemia Azaz and Paul Lampl marks the Frankfort Street entrance. This prismatic public artwork from the 1970s reflects the artistic ambitions of its time.
