There is a TV lounge, computer lab, and study lounge location on the 1st floor. Laundry is in the basement, along with the "Clay Collective."

Floor plans
Floor plans are available at http://barnard.edu/reslife/floorplans/Plimpton.pdf.
Advantages
- Easy access to the northern Amsterdam Avenue restaurant row, including Max Caffe, Cafe Fresh, as well as (relatively) cheap Appletree Market and its DVD rental selection
- Easy access to Pupin and Schermerhorn buildings through the Amsterdam and 120th Street entrances; also proximity to the Teachers' College and School of Social Work libraries.
Disadvantages
- Although campus is right across the intersection, it's a long walk to a gate that's open after 5pm. Getting special swipe access might be key.
