| | Proposed Cooper Union General Large Scale Development Plan |
 | | It is our belief that Cooper Union is an integral and invaluable part of the neighborhood in which they are located, that their presence benefits the neighborhood in many respects, and that their mission is a unique and noble one. |
 | | Given Cooper Unions original agreement with the City, as well as concerns about secondary displacement of long-standing retail uses in the immediate vicinity, an arts or gallery space, or retail uses related to the arts or the schools activities, might be the most appropriate such ground floor retail use for this location. |
 | | Cooper Unions commission of the design firm of Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut and Kuhn to respond to some of the concerns regarding this project has been helpful, and clearly in some respects has begun to move the proposals in the right direction. |
