Amenities
Bathrooms
Each suite has two bathrooms with two sinks, two stalls, and a shower.
AC/Heating
No AC, but the heating is aggressive. Many rooms have multiple windows, some of which open to the Hudson, so a few well-placed fans can enhance the natural airflow and get your room cool.
Lounge
Each suite has a centrally-located lounge, though there’s not a communal one for the whole floor.
Kitchen
Each suite has one kitchen with an oven, microwave, fridge, stove, and ample cabinet space.
Laundry
In the basement of the building, only accessible through an elevator. Normal busy-ness.
Fire escapes
There are fire escapes that are accessible but you’re not allowed to go on them.
Bike storage
In the basement
Computers/printers
In the first-floor lobby.
Gym
Small gym on the top floor with a treadmill and some lifting equipment.
Intra-transportation
Two elevators that are decent.

Rooms have hardwood, the rest of the suite has carpet.
Layout
Suites have anywhere from 4 to 10 rooms. The building has 25 singles and 53 doubles. Transfer students, SEAS combined plan (3-2) students, graduate students, and even a few “regular people” (i.e. non-Columbia students) live here alongside undergrads.
