For over 250 years, Columbia University has stood the test of
time
& has evolved into not only one of the top Ivy League Schools, but
a
Green Utopia in a busy city.

| Lowe Library |
We will meet at 10 am on 116th Street & Broadway
Right outside the Gates of College Walk (approximately 20’ from the #1 Train Subway Station.)
 |
| St Paul's Chappel |
At the Center of College Walk, you will see Low Library on your
Left – North & Butler Library on your Right - South. You cannot get lost on
the Campus. It’s divided into Upper Campus; College Walk & Lower Campus.
The 1st sketch from 10 am-12 pm will be all Lower
Campus which will include Low Library.
In addition to Low Library, you will have the Centennial
Gardens; Van Am Quad etc.
Two types of Snack Places are located in Lerner which also has
restrooms & the other Snack Place is Pulitzer - which used to be known as Journalism - which I do NOT believe has a Restroom.
Lunch at 12 pm, we will meet up at the Centre of College Walk where we
can decide on lunch. We can either go to one of the many restaurants on
Broadway, or pick up something from Hamilton’s Deli on Amsterdam & eat in
one of the many shaded areas.
At 1:30 pm we will move to the Upper Campus which includes the
Amsterdam overpass.

As an aside, as long as it’s before 4pm, the side entrance to
the International Affairs Building; Cross Amsterdam, Walk Left, Doors on Right
Hand Side – almost Directly Opposite of St. Paul’s Chapel Gates are large Restrooms.
In addition, if you cross Amsterdam Avenue & keep walking
straight, on your left past Jerome Greene (Law School) you will come upon some
Black Gates that lead to the entrance of Wien Courtyard. Wien Courtyard is also
accessible from the Amsterdam Overpass which has some great views.
