Pupin Hall, Physics laboratory building at Columbia University, Morningside Heights, United States
Pupin Hall features spacious lecture halls, research facilities, and laboratories across multiple floors of the Renaissance-style structure at Columbia University campus.
The building gained prominence in 1939 when Enrico Fermi conducted the first uranium atom splitting experiment in the United States within its laboratories.
The Rutherfurd Observatory located on top of Pupin Hall hosts regular observation sessions for students and local community members interested in astronomy.
The main entrance to Pupin Hall is located on the fifth floor, connecting to other campus buildings through an underground tunnel system.
