Getting to Cornell Tech's Bloomberg Center

Below is a list of multi-modal transportation possibilities for getting to the Bloomberg Center at Cornell Tech (2 West Loop Road).
 
F-Train to Roosevelt Island Station
 

• Catching the F-Train to Roosevelt Island is certainly the quickest and most efficient way to venture to Cornell Tech.

• Once you ascend to the street level, walk south under the bridge for 5-mins until you see the Bloomberg Center.

 
Cab/Lyft
 

• Even though your ultimate destination will be 2 West Loop Road, when catching a cab or Lyft, we recommend you enter/use this address: 1 East Loop Rd, New York, NY 10044.

• Given that vehicular access to Roosevelt Island is only from Queens, the journey can take up to 55-mins.

• Once you arrive, walk to the Bloomberg Center. 

 
Whimsical Options
 

• There is a fun cable car from NE Manhattan at 59th Street and 2nd Avenue over to the island (with access from the 4,5,6, and N, R, W lines). Only a metro card is needed. 

• For novelty, a ferry service to Roosevelt Island is also available, accessible from Wall Street, Brooklyn Navy Yards, East 34th Street, Astoria, and East 90th Street.

 
Bloomberg Center Foyer Check-in
​

• When arriving inside the Bloomberg Center foyer, kindly check-in at the security desk.

• Once through the turnstiles, follow the signs to the workshop venue
