Lewisohn Hall

Lewisohn Hall is an academic building on Columbia University's campus designed in the Beaux-Arts style with classical proportions and symmetrical details. Inside, multiple floors contain offices for admissions, financial aid, and academic advising services.

Completed in 1905, the building was designed by architect Arnold W. Brunner to harmonize with McKim, Mead & White designs across the campus. It originally housed the School of Mines before transitioning to its current role.

The building serves as a hub for non-traditional students who balance their studies with work and other commitments. You can sense how it functions as a central gathering place where different paths of learning come together.

The building is located at 2970 Broadway and is easy to identify from the street. Visitors should note that offices are best accessed during business hours and parking in the area is limited.

A bronze statue called Le Marteleur once stood in front of the building during its time as the School of Mines. The sculpture was later moved to the Mudd Building nearby.
