Pace Entrepreneurship Studio

A practical stop for anyone browsing Pace University’s academic offerings lands one block east of City Hall, where Pace Entrepreneurship Studio occupies the fifth floor of One Pace Plaza in Lower Manhattan. Above large lecture halls and shared co-working zones, the Studio functions as an incubator-by-location, giving undergraduates and alumni the tools to refine ideas without leaving campus. Think pilot-project grants, seed-fund pitches, and peer reviews that mimic real small-business calendars, all available to registered students and recent graduates.

The Studio sits at One Pace Plaza, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10038, steps from the Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall subway complex and within walking distance of the Financial District’s coffered corridors. A straight north–south stroll on Park Row places you minutes from the courthouses, while joggers bound for the East River Park use the same sidewalks at sunset. To reach the fifth floor, an elevator ride is the quickest route once you pass the security desk on the lobby level near Printing House Alley.

For hands-on coaching in lean startup theory, grant-application drafting, and founder roundtable sessions, reach out before your first visit. A quick phone call can confirm which office hours still have walk-in slots or when the summer accelerator panel is scheduled, letting you plan your appearance so you don’t waste a trip. Staff line the phones during standard semesters, but availability shrinks when classes are not in session.

If you need to plot your trip between Borough Hall coffee shops and City Hall verdigris gates, pull up the studio’s directions before you head out; the walk is short, but daylight matters when you’re navigating side streets cluttered with tour groups.
