A CAMPUS LANDMARK

In 1923 McKim, Mead and White designed our building located in the heart of Morningside Heights.

Within minutes of Central Park and midtown Manhattan, Faculty House is the perfect venue to escape urban distractions and experience the energy of the vibrant Columbia campus community. In addition to social events like weddings and bar mitzvahs, Faculty House has been the host facility for Columbia's University Seminars series for decades as well as presentations and speeches delivered by thought leaders across the past century.
