Expansion
An expansion of the facility through renovation of a seven-story building in the Navy Yard, was announced by its chairman, Douglas C. Steiner, on February 15, 2007.
In March 2012, Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled five new sound stages (a total of 30,500 square feet (2,830 m2)) at Steiner Studios. The new sound stages all feature two or three wall cycloramas.
Brooklyn College is planning to open a Graduate School of Cinema on Steiner Studios’ production lot in time for the fall 2013 semester. The school is expected to offer five to seven academic degrees, including film production, musical composition and business management. It will be the first public graduate school of film in New York and is thought to be the only film school in the country located on a working film lot.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
