Innovation Is in Our DNA
Dr. George E. Murphy, a professor of pathology at Cornell University Medical College, and his wife, Annette had an innovative vision to reshape their community. In 1972, the couple led an effort to preserve the abandoned Municipal Asphalt Plant at York Avenue and 90th Street in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The Murphy’s and local residents formed a charitable organization to renovate the plant and create Asphalt Green. Since its official opening in 1984, we’ve continued to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together to achieve a vibrant and healthier life. You can depend on us to supply world-class instruction and a supportive community today, tomorrow, and into the future.
