Governor Christie was on hand Thursday with the New Brunswick Development Corporation and Rutgers officials to cut the ribbon for the College Avenue redevelopment initiative.

The $330 million private-public partnership involves redeveloping approximately ten acres of land in the heart of the New Brunswick campus.

The school plans to construct a new University Academic Building, a Residential Honors College, Rutgers Hillel, and the New Brunswick Theological Seminary.

They'll also be adding a new student apartment building, green space, and retail space for the Rutgers University and New Brunswick community.

The school says the state-of-the-art facility is part of the effort to make Rutgers a top-tier international research facility. .
