Touro University cut the ribbon Monday on a sprawling flagship campus in Times Square that will consolidate several of the private Jewish institution’s local schools under one roof.

College officials expect to enroll thousands of students at the Cross River Campus on 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue, providing an economic boost to local restaurants, stores and services in Midtown after pandemic-era office closures.

“When I first came to Touro in 2009, our mission was to serve the underserved — to offer excellent education opportunities to people from every background,” said Alan Kadish, president of Touro University. “We were proudly fulfilling that mission — but we also talked about how valuable it would be to our students if, one day, they could attend classes in the heart of Manhattan.”

“We spoke of the benefits of students learning not just from dedicated teachers in outstanding programs, but also in programs housed in a beautiful, world-class facility. Today, as we stand here in Times Square, I can honestly say that aspiration has come true,” he said.

The roughly 300,000-square-foot campus will span more than 11 floors in the Thomson Reuters building at 3 Times Square — including classrooms, science and technology labs, libraries, offices, event spaces, cafes and lounges.

“Higher education has been a steppingstone for so many young people in our city, and with this incredible new campus, New Yorkers throughout the five boroughs will have access to the state-of-the-art classrooms, research labs, and more,” Mayor Eric Adams said. “This campus is going to bring new energy to the Midtown community.”

More than 2,000 students started moving into the building since January, with another 700 slated to relocate by July.

“We know that our community places great value on in-person learning,” said Kadish. “The beautiful Cross River Campus will allow Touro to create ever greater opportunities for our students.”

The campus will house the undergraduate New York School of Career and Applied Studies, as well as six graduate programs in health sciences, business, education, Jewish studies, social work, technology and pharmacy.

The building remains mostly vacant outside of Touro’s space, according to The Real Deal.

Touro University also operates campuses in California, Nevada, Illinois, Berlin, Jerusalem and Moscow, and was just granted university status in New York last winter.
