Uris Hall on completion in 1961, without the recently added extension on the entrance
Uris Hall houses Columbia Business School, as well as the Uris Deli and a loud library, the Business and Economics Library.

It was considered so ugly that architecture students picketed its dedication in 1961, holding signs reading "No More Mudds". Despite an attempted to rein in its ugliness with an addition in the 80s, it remains among the ugliest campus buildings to this day.
Uris Hall was built on the foundation for the never-completed University Hall.
