The Brown Building is owned by New York University (NYU), located in 245 Greene St, Greenwich Village, New York City. This ten story building is occupied by the Headquarters of the Biology and Chemistry departments of NYU. Prior to it being occupied by New York University, it was originally located in 23-29 Washington place and was occupied by small factories that produced garments, including the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory back when it was first built in 1901. In 1901 the building was named the Asch Building, after its original owner Joseph J. Asch, later being named the Brown Building. Since the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory incident back in 1911, a new movement was in place, making sure workers are working in a safe environment.
