      History


      In 2003, Douglas C. Steiner began development of what later became New York City's largest television and movie production facility, on 20 acres (8.1 ha) of the Navy Yard. Steiner Studios opened in November 2004. The site initially included a 280,000-square-foot (26,000 m2) studio spread across five stages.
      An expansion of the facility through renovation of a seven-story building in the Navy Yard, was announced by chairman Douglas Steiner, on February 15, 2007. The studio was the location of the 17th annual Gotham Awards held on November 27, 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 opened the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema on Steiner Studios' production lot for the fall 2013 semester. It is 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. In November 2013, Carnegie Mellon University announced the creation of the Integrative Media Program at Steiner Studios.
