Boylan. Boylan was pleased with the plans, and the lot of land was purchased for $1. 6 million. Construction of the new campus began in 1935, with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by then Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Brooklyn Borough President Raymond Ingersoll.

The George Gershwin Theatre is a 500-seat Proscenium theatre, one of four situated in the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts complex located on the Campus The most recent construction to take place on the campus was the demolition of the Plaza Building, due to its inefficient use of space, poor ventilation, and significant maintenance cost. To replace the Plaza Building, the college is currently constructing a new West Quad. To keep with the academic style of the campus, the new grounds will contain a newly landscaped quadrangle with grassy areas and trees. In Architecture, a quadrangle is a space or courtyard usually square or rectangular in plan the sides of which are entirely or mainly occupied by parts of a large building Also, new façades will be constructed on the Roosevelt and James Hall buildings where they once connected with the Plaza Building.
