Between 15 and 18 organizations will ultimately take spaces of 10k SF or less in the building, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Two Sigma is calling the space a “collision lab,” its term for a space where engineers from its R&D team will work away from its main campus and have access to talent at the larger campus.

The Bridge at Cornell Tech opens its doors in September as the office portion of the larger Cornell Tech campus. The campus will include residential and academic space as well as retail space to support those uses.
