In 2011, NYU announced plans to open another portal campus, New York University Shanghai, for the fall semester of 2013.
It was set to have about 3,000 undergraduate students, the majority of whom would be Chinese.
It was approved by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in January 2011.
NYU's local partner would be East China Normal University (ECNU).
ECNU's president Yu Lizhong would be the chancellor and play a major role in government relations while Jeffrey S. Lehman, former president of Cornell amongst other positions, would serve as vice chancellor and have "free rein in academic affairs."
Since late summer of 2014, NYU Shanghai has been based in Pudong, Shanghai, at 1555 Century Ave.
The main campus is contained in a single building, the Academic Center, a new 15-story building with two underground floors.
On May 30, 2019, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the new campus building in the Qiantan International Business Zone.
The Qiantan campus building will also be located in Pudong, and is being designed and built by architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF).
The design features four buildings arranged in a pinwheel shape reminiscent of NYU Shanghai's logo, that are connected as one building above the fifth floor.
The university hopes to move up to 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students into the new campus by 2022.
