The Walk at FIT
The Walk at FIT will be located in front of a striking, state-of-the-art building now being constructed on West 28th Street—the first new academic facility on FIT’s campus in more than 40 years. The building will be a lively new center of creative energy for FIT and the Chelsea neighborhood. The glass façade makes the life of the college visible to the street, bringing an exciting synergy to the area.
A name on the Walk is a tax-deductible gift to FIT. Funds raised from this project will help secure the college’s future for generations of students to come.
