There was a thread for the Columbia expansion overall.

Columbia's 'Cascading' Medical Building Making Progress
Quote:
The last time we checked in with Columbia University Medical Center's Medical and Graduate Education Building, designed by Diller, Scofidio + Renfro, it was still in the early construction stages. But a lot of progress has been made since then, and as Field Condition notes, the building—which has a slightly wacky, zig-zagging facade—is now getting closer to completion. The building topped out late last year, curtain wall is being installed, and the "study cascade" is starting to take shape. It's expected to be completed sometime next year.
The Medical Center’s new Medical and Graduate Education Building opens August 16
Quote:
In just over two weeks Columbia University Medical Center’s new Medical and Graduate Education building, now known as the Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center will welcome its first batch of students to the uniquely designed space on Haven Avenue in Washington Heights between West 171st and West 172nd Streets. On Wednesday afternoon, Curbed got a sneak peak at the as yet-to-open space as part of a press preview organized by the University.
The site of this new education center was once occupied by a six-story townhouse that the university owned. That building was demolished to make way for the medical building, but the relatively narrow lot on which it had to be built proved to be a unique challenge for the architecture team of Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Gensler.
