For years, Roosevelt Island was a world away from
Manhattan, despite being only one subway stop away.
A former location for asylums and hospitals, the island
was overlooked and largely unexplored by New Yorkers.

Skylight partnered with Forest City to bring global exposure and targeted foot traffic to Roosevelt Island’s Cornell Tech, New York’s response to Silicon Valley, with a goal to become the epicenter of NYC innovation and a leader in sustainability. Skylight invited a variety of projects and partners to activate within Cornell Tech to bring its ethos to life and to engage the local Roosevelt Island community.

Al Gore's Climate Reality Project "24 Hours of Reality" broadcast featured Cornell Tech as a leader in sustainability to its audience across 223 countries, while Randi Zuckerberg’s Sue’s Tech Kitchen initiative engaged the local Roosevelt Island community’s kids and families around STEM-education.
