== Location ==
Gould Plaza is located between Washington Square East and [[Mercer Street (Manhattan)|Mercer Street]], and is characterized by large, red plaster and grey brick buildings surrounding it on three of four sides, with the remaining side facing West 4th Street.<ref name=":0"></ref> The buildings on the campus side of the plaza are majority glass, with prominent purple flags with NYU logos adorning the university's buildings. The plaza was formed after the Stern School of Business was constructed in 1900. The Courant Institute of Mathematics was built in 1932 in Warren Weaver Hall, under which a co-generation power production plant, designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the university, was built in 2011. Goddard Hall also is on the periphery of the Plaza, and is an [[Undergraduate education|undergraduate]] [[freshman]] hall commonly shown during NYU [[campus tour]]s.

Other institutions nearby the plaza includes [[Elmer Holmes Bobst Library|NYU's Elmer Holmes Bobst Library]], which was opened on September 12, 1973, Kimmel Center for University Life, and [[Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development|NYU Steinhart's]] main building.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The plaza is also close to several religious institutions, including [[Judson Memorial Church]], the [[Mosque|Islamic Center]] at NYU, and the [[Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion|Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion]], through the Plaza is not connected to Hebrew Union. The high student traffic in the area as the point where four NYU school students often meet makes Gould Plaza a social meeting place for multiple NYU [[Student society|student clubs]], which also makes it appealing to [[Street performance|street musicians and buskers]] who often perform on or near the Plaza.

Over the years, Gould Plaza has been a place for international festivals to meet, including the [[World Science Festival]], which uses the Plaza and its surrounding buildings as a festival destination.<ref></ref>
