In the mean while, Cooper Union Foundation Building loacted opposite to the Academic building was built in 1859 by Peter Cook is one the very first high rise building in New York with many historical structures and ornaments

Both Building were made from the different architect and timing which created the different concepts and purposes within the building. Therefore, by renovating the Foudation building by applying same concepts from the Academic Building (Void, Vertical circulation and visual connection) to the Foundation would help this building become more international in architecture.
