The $138 million new academic building at Medgar Evers College in Crown Heights has been in the works since 2002, but now the building is finally taking shape. Located at Bedford and Crown, the Academic Complex I will house the college’s School of Science, Health, and Technology. Designed by Polshek Partnership Architects, renderings of the five-story, 194,000-square-foot brick structure seem quite pleasant—not too ostentatious or dominating for the neighborhood. We’ve included this nighttime photo because, while under construction, the building gives off an eerie and somewhat astrological glow that is always surprisingly pleasant when we bicycle by along Bedford Avenue. The building is scheduled to be complete around August 2010, according to the school. GMAP P*Shark DOB
