VVA, LLC, a project management & consulting firm has been selected as the project manager for NYU Langone's new ambulatory care center, occupying thirteen floors at 240 East 38th St. The 225,000 s/f facility will allow for consolidation and expansion of services currently located at 34th and 17th Sts.
