New York University’s John A. Paulson Center was one of only six campuses worldwide selected for the “World’s Most Beautiful” 2024 Prix Versailles recognition. The Center received the "world selection" honor in the most beautiful campus category.

“These places that serve to educate people, places where knowledge is shared and learnt, are crucial to the development of a sustainable society where sensitivity and intelligence go hand in hand,” said Prix Versaille Secretary General Jerome Gouadain. “Beauty in the form of architectural excellence on campuses helps to spur the learning process. It contributes to the well-being of students and instructors alike, and represents an undeniable mark of trust and an invitation to shine.”
