Broadway Residence Hall, is a relatively new corridor-style residence hall. It was designed by architect Robert A. M. Stern, C '50, and opened in 2000. The building has not yet had a name-donor, hence its name. It is located on the north east corner of 113th St and Broadway, but it shares an entrance and lobby with Hogan on 114th St. Its street address is 2900 Broadway.
The building was planned with the intent of it becoming a "Senior" central, and replacing the traditionally senior-filled Furnald, which was to be converted into Freshmen/Sophomore only housing following Broadway's completion. However, the inadequate size of the majority of singles (under 110 sq ft compared to Furnald's 125+ sq ft rooms) drew a less then enthusiastic response from disgruntled upperclassmen who were left with no choice but to accept the rooms since they were now excluded from the more desirable Furnald Hall.
Overall the building is very well appointed and comfortable. If only the rooms were a little bigger...
Broadway singles usually go to rising seniors, and rising juniors with lottery numbers better than 600. Doubles are usually occupied by sophomores.
