Columbia and Barnard have made some Housing renovations
Like massage chairs in PrezBo’s mansion, they’re everywhere! I’m not quite Spec’s former EIC Ben Cotton, but I’ll do my best to go through all of Housing’s renovations.
These upgrades make ____ the shit!
Carman Hall more than any other dorm, was branded with the type of BIG WINNER STATUS that you usually only see on sketchy websites in Comic Sans that link to Tanzania. Housing is creating a new fitness room in their basement (which should be finished by the end of the semester), and all Carman floor lounges got flatscreen TVs. Considering that Carman was already the best dorm (by far), you might as well unfurl a Miami Heat banner on their roof.
River Hall—The one drawback with River is that it was somewhat isolated from campus. If you pulled out a tape measure and wheeled it to main campus, the distance probably isn’t much different from McBain or Watt, but because you’re walking steeply uphill, the walk just feels harder (particularly during winter when you’re walking uphill over a slippery sheet of snow and there’s that annoying risk that you might slip on ice, fall on your back, crack your tailbone, start crying, end up in St. Luke’s, and fail your chem exam).
In addition to a much needed improved printing station, River is getting a fitness room, a small practice room for musicians, and new flooring. There’s a good chance that River singles, traditionally an option that lucky juniors could snag, will fall into senior-only domain with the upgrades.
A solid upgrade, it will noticeably improve life
Reid Hall—A first-year Barnard dorm, the hallways were repainted and got necessary new carpeting (the tile flooring that was there before could get kind of grimy).
Brooks Hall—The Lewis Parlor will get library-styled study tables and lights which is really great. Last year there were only sofas to study in, and the lighting was spotty at best. Now it should be a great study spot. The fourth and fifth floor of Brooks were refurbished a bit, but not by a lot.
600—the A and F lines (typically considered less desirable lines) got significant kitchen and bathroom renovations. Check this out! These are the images you only see in those Wheel of Fortune prize puzzle commercials.
Watt—Like River, the only drawback is that Watt is just slightly isolated. The first and second levels get refurbished floors, new sinks, and shower head upgrades. All of Watt will get new windows, window gates, and window blinds. That’s all nice, but none of it will make a noticeable difference. What’s nicer is that Watt gets a print station and flatscreen TVs lame video screens, though the print station isn’t quite the lifesaver it is for River, considering that Watt residents can get their printing done a few steps away at McBain.
Schapiro—It got wireless! Most Schapiro residents already had WiFi access, but this wireless will definitely be more expansive and reliable. Schapiro is replacing its locks with better Ving locks, but considering that Schapiro’s previous Ving system was fine, I don’t quite get why they’re doing that. Floors 11 through 16 get flooring, paint, and bathroom upgrades. The bathroom upgrades were needed more than the flag on South Lawn needs to be green, but the painting and flooring was fine before…The first floor also now has two dance rooms and a small student group space available for sign-up with University Event Management.
East Campus got WiFi for EVERYONE (this was the most expensive wiring of Housing’s two million dollar wireless project). In addition, the 16th floor of EC received new furniture, flooring, appliances, and bathroom fixes.
The three brownstones vacated by Pike/AEPi/Psi Up got upgraded bathrooms, kitchen design, flooring and common space, but some of the rooms were also changed (doubles converted into singles, etc.). Overall though, people have said the upgrades are very noticeable.
Claremont/Harmony got wireless too!
Nussbaum got a printing station, which was pretty necessary considering that many people in Nussbaum would have to walk all the way to McBain to get their printing done.
Yeah, it’s nice I guess
McBain‘s second floor got repainted and had its flooring replaced. I’ve been to the second floor of McBain and I don’t feel like it was any different quality-wise from McBain’s other floors…
Hogan’s fourth, fifth, and sixth floors received new flooring, paint, kitchen and bathroom furnishings, and new LED lighting in the hallways, but a senior living there right now says there’s really no difference. The doors and locks were replaced with electronic Ving locks throughout the building.
Furnald, John Jay, LLC—Not much new here. They’re getting “video screens” (big disclaimer: we’ve emailed Housing for clarification, but it’s likely that these “video screens” aren’t actually used to watch TV). Other than that, John Jay/LLC’s water fountains now also have a place to refill water bottles and Furnald’s getting some new lounge furniture.
what’s happening to the vacated frat brownstones?
Doubles are mostly going to transfer students, singles mainly to juniors with bad lottery numbers who requested summer transfer.
Apparently Barnard accepted more students than normal because all the study halls in the Sulz side of the quad were renovated into 4-person rooms. Not jealous of those fresh-women!
More students (612? 617?) accepted Barnard’s offers. We were told Barnard was was aiming for a class of 570 and accepted the normal number of applications.
if the new flooring in river is hardwood?
it’s carpet.
The study halls that used to be on floors 3-8 of Sulz-Reid at Barnard have been awkwardly converted into quad rooms. Not jealous of those poor fresh-women.
Where are the flat screens in Watt going? I thought there weren’t common areas
STAMP OF APPROVAL.
a wise man once was asked by a foolish first-year if it was permissible to just keep one’s carman suite.
and the wise man responded, “no, because then everyone would just stay in carman all four years.”
Where are the flat-screens in Watt?
Oh shoot… I got that mixed up. They’re under the “video screen” category which as I mentioned under the first-year dorms likely won’t actually be used for watching tv. Sorry about that.
Mikey you tease!

river has always had a computer lab with a printing station. i have no idea what you are talking about…
My bad, there absolutely is a printer there. They’re adding another printer in River’s basement. River’s lone printer was occassionally broken according to CUIT.

I thought Schapiro was switching to id locks from the old ving locks? They replaced them right before Fall Interim started

Housing says they’re switching to new Ving locks.

Is the fitness room in Carmen finished yet?
You may locate out that not having one is like having a kitchen without a range. Not actually but you will surely appreciate the extra sink region for those holiday dinners.
If you’re planning a renovation you need to be very clear about the look and the style you want to achieve, so that even amidst the sandpaper and paint cans, your project comes out the other end looking just as you hoped it would. As a result, many people recruit the help of a professional interior designer or decorator, but if you’re looking to save money on your renovation you need to get creative about where you find your inspiration and direction.Therefore, start looking online and in magazines for tips and advice on renovating spaces like yours. You will find a myriad of decorating blogs, as well as many design stores which will offer advice and tips on using their products for the best results. One place you’ve find easy and affordable inspiration is through color because adding a new coat of paint to a space in a new color will completely change the look, feel and focus of our home or office. For example, painting all of your walls white will make the space look bigger and you can then pick up cheap and colorful odds and ends such as pillows, candles and picture frames to add an accent.
Hey I have a question. I have a choice to come to Columbia next year as an exchange student and well the housing said that a room(not sure in which residence hall) will be assigned to me in August. The thing is I have a serios phobia of roaches (all sorts of bugs really) and rats. How bad of a problem is this at dorms? Can anyone help me get info on this.
We are a bunch of volunteers and opening a brand new scheme in our community. Your website provided us with helpful info to paintings on. You have done a formidable activity and our whole group will be grateful to you.
