Fiterman Hall is part of Manhattan Community College’s lower Manhattan campus. The 15 story, 400,000 square foot building houses a first-floor art gallery, classrooms, computer laboratories, offices, library spaces and assembly rooms. The electrical controls, fire alarms, and security system are fully integrated with each other, and the grand atriums have been specially designed to purge smoke from the building in the event of a fire.
