The Namm Building
New York City College Of Technology
300 Jay Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201
Named in honor of Major Benjamin Namm

The Namm building at New York City College Technology was named in the memory of Major Benjamin Namm who was a veteran of World War I, owned owned and operated A.I. Namm & Son Department Store on Fulton Street and was the president of the National Retail Dry Goods Association. Major Namm believed that there should be a program focusing on returning soldiers from World War II so they can have college-level general
education and comprehensive training in the new and emerging technologies of the
era under the GI Bill. After meeting with then Governer Thomas
E. Dewey who believed in Namm’s vision so much that he put in to motion a school that would be first placed in an abandoned warehouse on Pearl Street in down town Brooklyn.

I spend most of my week taking classes at the Namm building while working on my associates degree in Legal studies and law which I will finish in Spring of 2015.
