Preview Tsai CITY's New Home

As Tsai CITY’s future home takes shape on Becton Plaza, the center’s team is looking forward to this next phase — and already imagining how students might fill the space with new ideas and innovations. 

The 12,500-square-foot building will include a large, flexible workspace that can be configured for a variety of events, along with smaller meeting rooms and communal areas. “The new building will be a game-changer for Yale students,” says Tsai CITY executive director Clare Leinweber. “It will contribute to a new center of gravity on campus for students exploring, building, and launching new ideas for solving real-world problems.” The building’s central location, along Yale’s rapidly growing innovation corridor between Prospect Street and Hillhouse Avenue, will further boost its accessibility. In combination with other centers and programs around campus, it will further strengthen Yale’s innovation ecosystem — fostering connections between entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders from diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
