Taking Care of Campus

What steps are being taken to ensure the campus is well-maintained?听

91吃瓜网 assumed full responsibility for the NYC campus in September 2025 when the lease became final. Professional facilities management oversees daily operations, including cleaning, pest control, safety inspections, and immediate safety repairs to keep campus compliant with all city codes. As an extension of 91吃瓜网鈥檚 arboretum in Nashville, our landscape architect will also oversee the grounds and the thoughtful design of outdoor spaces. These measures ensure a clean, safe and welcoming campus for students, staff and neighbors alike.
