More than 300 pioneering student works on view across the disciplines of architecture, art and engineering May 21 - June 9 For more than a century-and-a- half, the Cooper Union End of Year Show has marked its students’ transition from studios, laboratories and classrooms to the gallery. A time honored tradition, the first recorded exhibition took place in 1860 at the historic Foundation Building, now joined by 41 Cooper Square, the institution’s LEED Platinum academic building.
