The state’s highest court on Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling allowing New York University to move forward with its expansion plan, most likely ending a long battle with neighbors, elected officials, preservationists and faculty members. The contentious plan would add about 1.9 million square feet of space across four buildings, including classrooms, dormitories and offices, to the largely low-slung neighborhood of Greenwich Village. About 900,000 square feet of that would be underground, according to the university.
