Zarba indicated that the center's space search had taken nearly two years, a lengthy timeframe but one that was not unusual for a city institution.

The auditorium originated in the theaters of ancient Greece, as a semicircular seating area cut into a hillside. in which it will be able hold larger classes and lectures. "This building wound up being a great fit," Zarba said. "It could accommodate their size requirements and also allow them to build an auditorium and on top of that it has flexible hours that will allow for a lot of night traffic." Most of those enrolled at the center take classes there in the evening after work, meaning that 25 Broadway will experience increased traffic at normally quieter hours.
