How do I get to the Tata Innovation Center?

The Tata Innovation Center is located on the Cornell Tech campus at Roosevelt Island in New York City. The Cornell Tech campus is just one subway stop from the Upper East Side, three subway stops from Grand Central, and 18 minutes from LaGuardia Airport.

Cornell Tech - Campus

By Subway & Tram (Most Scenic) Take the F train to Roosevelt Island station, or take the 4/5/6 trains to 59th Street-Lexington Avenue, then board the iconic Roosevelt Island Tramway. The Roosevelt Island Tramway provides amazing scenic views of Manhattan, running every 7-15 minutes from 59th street and Second Avenue in Manhattan to Tramway Plaza on Roosevelt Island.

By Subway Direct Take the F train directly to Roosevelt Island station. This is the most straightforward option, putting you right on the island. From the station, it's a short walk or free bus ride to the Cornell Tech campus.

By Ferry Take the NYC Ferry to Roosevelt Island Landing. This seasonal service offers beautiful water views and connects Roosevelt Island to other parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

By Car Access Roosevelt Island by car via the Roosevelt Island Bridge from 36th Avenue in Queens, then drive south down Main Street.
