John Jay Hall is a prominent building located on the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University in New York City. Named after John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States, the hall serves as a residence for undergraduate students and houses various administrative offices.

History

John Jay Hall was constructed in 1927 as part of Columbia University's expansion efforts. The building was designed by the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, which was also responsible for designing several other notable structures on the Columbia campus, including Low Memorial Library and Butler Library.

Architecture

The building is an example of Collegiate Gothic architecture, characterized by its pointed arches, intricate stonework, and large windows. The design reflects the architectural style prevalent in many American universities during the early 20th century.

Facilities

The ground floor of John Jay Hall houses the John Jay Dining Hall, one of the main dining facilities on campus. The dining hall offers a variety of meal options and is a central hub for student life.

Administrative Offices

In addition to its residential function, John Jay Hall contains several administrative offices, including the Office of Residential Life and the Office of Undergraduate Student Life. These offices provide support and resources for students living on campus.

Notable Residents
