The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) recently relocated its New York Education Center to Madison Avenue and now offers classes in gemology, jewelry design, and related subjects at the new location.

The new Education Center, with 17,715 sq. ft. on the second floor of 270 Madison Ave., will provide expanded space for classrooms and student areas as well as administrative offices. The previous center, at 580 Fifth Ave. (with the GIA Gem Laboratory), will remain as the laboratory’s headquarters.
