Civil Engineering Department

2020-10-09T21:10:49Z

Michelle:

The '''Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics''' is one of the constituent departments of [[SEAS]]. Added to the School of Mines in 1868, it is one of the oldest departments in SEAS, offering B.S., M.S., Eng. Sc.D. and Ph.D. degrees in both [[Civil Engineering]] and Engineering Mechanics. The department offices are located on the 6th floor of [[Mudd]] along with a computer lab and an affordable vending machine. The department also contains the [[Carleton Lab]].

LLC tunnel system

2020-09-19T18:26:30Z

Michelle: /* Entry points */

The '''LLC tunnel system''' is a passageway connecting [[John Jay Hall]] to [[Hamilton Hall]], passing under [[Hartley Hall]] and [[Wallach Hall]]. It is more aptly described as a connected basement than a true tunnel. It is a rather bland, clean, well-lit hallway with offshoots to stairs leading up to Hartley and Wallach. The Hartley laundry room is also accessible from this area.

== Entry points ==

There are a number of ways to reach this system, all of which require a [[CUID]] except for the [[JJ's Place]].

* The easiest entry point begins at the [[John Jay Hall|John Jay]] lobby. Swipe in at the Security desk, and head down via the stairs to the basement, where the laundry room is. Before you hit the John Jay laundry room, the passageway is to your left, through a large door. It is always accessible, and is indeed used by maintenance relatively frequently during working hours.
* You can also take the fire exit at [[JJ's Place]], but this is not the conventional entry way. Last time it was checked, the door was not actually alarmed.
* Entering via [[Hartley Hall|Hartley]] and [[Wallach Hall|Wallach]] is possible as well, by simply swiping in and heading to their respective basements.

== Other points of interest ==

* The north end of this system (underneath [[Hamilton Hall|Hamilton]]) is locked by a short, 4-foot-tall mag-locked steel door. It has been continually locked since [[1997]] at least, with no way to bypass it. The purpose of this door is to prevent unlawful entry to the student dorms via Hamilton (i.e., gaining access without having to swipe in). Near this door are other, normal-sized doors, used for custodial storage. Occasionally they may be open, although not much of interest can be found within them.
* The south end of this system (underneath [[John Jay Hall|John Jay]]) has a continually-locked connection to [[Butler Library]], although the location of the connecting door is unclear. Again, the purpose is to prevent enterprising "liberators" from taking books without going through Butler's main entrance.

Diplomas

2020-09-19T05:17:46Z

Michelle:

'''Diplomas''' are the physical manifestation of your [[degrees]]. They typically bear your name, the [[degree]] you received, the [[Columbia Seal]], and the signatures of the university president and the dean of your school. Diplomas are mailed to you after [[Commencement]].

Columbia uses a single English-language diploma design for all of its schools and degree programs with a limited number of exceptions.<ref>As it turns out, getting the registrar to provide an actual description of the diploma, e.g. the weight, quality, and material of the paper, etc. is impossible. They cite security reasons. I guess they think someone will try to forge a copy if they let that information out. It's not like they [[Degrees#Number of Degrees Conferred by Columbia and its Peers|practically hand these things out]].</ref> Specifically, (1) diplomas for [[Columbia College]] are nearly identical to standard design, except the writing is in latin<ref>Curiously, the [[Translation of Columbia College diploma|latin translation]] provided with the diplomas suggests that the English language diplomas are not exact translations of the latin ones (or vice versa, if you prefer).</ref>; (2) diplomas for [[Columbia Law School]] mirror the standard design except they are in latin, similar to Columbia College, and physically larger in size<ref>Law School diplomas followed the standard format until a redesign sometime in the 1980s, according to the [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/history.html website] for University Senator Matan Ariel's 2004 Diploma Redesign Initiative. According to that website, the law school redesign followed on the heels of a complete redesign of the M.D. diploma</ref>; (3) the College of Physicians and Surgeons diploma bears little resemblance to the shared design language of all other Columbia diplomas.<ref>According to the [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/history.html website] for University Senator Matan Ariel's 2004 Diploma Redesign Initiative, the CPS diplomas were redesigned "about 20 years ago." Prior to that they were issued in the standard design.</ref>

In addition, the [[Trustees]] of Columbia University also confer degrees on graduates of Barnard College, who receive a latin language diploma similar to those granted to Columbia College graduates, but including both the Columbia University and Barnard College seals.<ref>The conferral of degrees on Barnard graduates by Columbia University is a legacy of the close relationship between the the two institutions dating back to Barnard's founding at the turn of the 20th century, and is formally ratified as part of the [[Columbia-Barnard Intercorporate Agreement]].</ref>

Columbia's standard diploma size (10.5" by 12.5") isn't actually standard at all, which means you have to pay for the overpriced frames sold in the bookstore or get a frame custom made. A (relatively) cost-effective alternative is to use a 'floating' frame design, which may give you options among standard size off-the-shelf frames.

If your diploma gets damaged or lost and you want to get it replaced, you need to send $100 along with a notarized application to the [[Registrar]]. [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/registrar/docs/alumni/diploma-replacement.html] While the new diploma will display your date of graduation, it will bear the signatures of the current university president and dean of your school, who may be different from when you graduated.

== Design History ==
The current standard diploma design dates back to the early 1900s.<ref>"[T]he standard diploma was designed roughly 100 years ago and has not been changed since." [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/history.html Columbia University Senate Student Affairs Caucus Diploma Design Poll (2004)]. This would make the Columbia diploma design yet another legacy of the [[Nicholas Murray Butler]] university presidency.</ref> The one exception to the standard design was the Columbia College diploma, which was uniquely printed in latin. The design went largely unchanged, except for slight changes in typography, until approximately 2007.

In the 1980s, the College of Physicians and Surgeons redesigned their diplomas entirely.<ref>"[A]bout 20 years ago the medical school changed its diplomas to a very different design from the standard diploma." [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/history.html Columbia University Senate Student Affairs Caucus Diploma Design Poll (2004)].</ref> Shortly thereafter, the Law School also redesigned its diplomas.<ref>"[S]hortly after the medical school changed its diploma, the law school redesigned its diplomas as well." [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/history.html Columbia University Senate Student Affairs Caucus Diploma Design Poll (2004)]</ref> Unlike the medical school, the Law School decided to maintain the general design of the standard diploma, but borrowed (most) of the latin inscription from Columbia College, and blew up the diploma in size.

In 2003-2004, [[GS]] student and [[University Senator]] [[Matan Ariel]] spearheaded an effort to redesign Columbia's diplomas as part of the [[C250]] celebrations, hosting an online poll and passing a University Senate resolution urging the [[Trustees]] to look into the issue.<ref>http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/</ref><ref>E-mail feedback received by Ariel and the Task-Force was anonymized and collected in a report presented to the administration.[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/diploma/diplomaemails.pdf]</ref><ref>http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/resolutions/03-04/diploma.htm</ref> Ariel and the Diploma Task-Force of fellow students consulted with a representative from the [[Registrar]] and the Jostens company to generate four new designs.<ref>Exemplars of the four proposed designs can be found in the [[University Archives]].</ref>

Although there is no record of an official change, the the standard diploma design changed by 2007 in ways responsive to complaints highlighted by Ariel's task force, namely by altering the typography to place greater emphasis on the school name, the student's name, and the degree earned on the diploma. Most noticeably, the layout was reformatted so that for the first time "The Trustees of" and "Columbia University" appeared on two lines, with the latter in a much larger font. In addition, the [[University Seal]], which had been located on the lower left corner of the diploma, while the signatures of the University President and School Dean were located the lower right corner, was moved to the center of the bottom, while the signatures were split up and moved to the two lower corners.

GS students, who had responded to Ariel's initiative by asking for the latinization of their english-language diplomas, raised the issue again in 2009-2010. However, Dean [[Peter Awn]] quashed the idea, stating that a latin diploma was inappropriate for a school founded in 1947 with a non-traditional mission.<ref>[http://gs.columbia.edu/news-school?article=regarding-school-general-studies-diploma-2010-03-10 Regarding the School of General Studies Diploma (E-mail from Dean Peter Awn to Students) March 10, 2010]</ref><ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2010/02/02/gs-debates-diplomas-latin-or-english</ref><ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2010/03/09/gs-diplomas-remain-english</ref> Awn also cited that it seemed like an inappropriate allocation of resources to make the necessary logistical changes in a time of fiscal restraint. Awn also found it "difficult to grasp why any student would want a diploma written in a language that he or she could not understand."

Fire alarm

2020-09-19T04:22:41Z

Michelle:

[[Image:10 19 8.JPEG|thumb|right|Firefighters enter [[EC]] from [[Morningside Drive]] during a fire alarm. As usual, this alarm was a false one.]]

A '''fire alarm''' is an event that is traditionally slept through at Columbia. It is a loud and annoying occurrence.

Sometimes, though, the firemen that rove the halls after each alarm will catch you. Given the small number of people who actually exit the building, it's surprising they don't do this more often.

The cause of the alarm will often not be revealed. In John Jay and possibly other freshman dorms, Columbia Safety will perform fire drills. These are distinguishable by a person outside talking about fire safety and passing out bookmarks by the building entrance.

If your building has roof access that is blocked by an alarmed door, fire drills are a great time to go up there without triggering an alarm (because one is already going off!), make sure to block the door with something so your friends get up to the roof and so you don't trigger the alarm when you leave the roof.

If you are in John Jay, Hartley, or Wallach during a fire drill, you don't have to go outside, just walk over to the other building.

Broadway Residence Hall

2020-09-19T02:48:58Z

Michelle: /* Facilities */

{{wp-also2|Broadway Hall}}

{{Infobox reshall
|Name=Broadway
|Image=[[File:Broadway.jpg]]
|Built=[[2000]]
|Renovated=
|Population=372}}

'''Broadway Residence Hall''' is Columbia's most recent purpose-built college dormitory. While [[Columbia Housing]] has added new housing stock and renovated older stock since its opening, Broadway was the last undergraduate residence built from scratch. It was designed by architect and [[Columbia College]] alumnus [[Robert A. M. Stern]], who has more recently been designing some of New York's most expensive residential buildings, and opened in [[2000]]. The largely corridor-style dormitory has not yet had a name-[[:Category:Donors|donor]], hence its oddly generic name. It is located on the north east corner of 113th St and Broadway, but it shares an entrance and lobby with [[Hogan Hall|Hogan]] on 114th St. Its street address is 2900 Broadway.

Overall the building is very well appointed and comfortable. If only the rooms were a little bigger...

Broadway singles usually go to rising seniors, and rising juniors with lottery numbers better than 1000. Doubles are usually occupied by sophomores.

In Summer 2008, Housing Services renovated the 10th through 13th floors of the building, putting hardwood floors in the rooms, new carpeting in the hallways and lounge, and providing new furniture (including flat-screen TVs) for the lounge. In Summer 2009, the same was done for the 6th through 9th floors, with the rest of the building anticipated to follow in Summer 2010.

== History ==

The $50 million 140,000 square feet building was planned with the intent of it becoming a "Senior" central, and replacing the traditionally senior-filled [[Furnald]], which was to be converted into Freshmen/Sophomore-only housing following Broadway's completion. According to Mark Burstein, who was the vice president for student services, "the new residence hall is modeled after Furnald. It's designed to be senior space. It will probably be one of the most attractive spaces on campus."

However, the inadequate size of the majority of singles (under 110 sq ft compared to Furnald's 125+ sq ft rooms) drew a less then enthusiastic response from disgruntled upperclassmen. Despite their dissatisfaction with the room sizes, they were left with no choice but to accept the rooms since they were now excluded from the more desirable [[Furnald Hall]].

== Facilities ==

The building has a total of 300 singles and 36 doubles. Each room has wood flooring, a built-in closet, modular shelves, and adjustable centrally-controlled air-conditioning and heating. The [[Resident Advisor]] rooms are 319, 419, 519, 619, 819, 1019, and 1219.

As of summer 2010, Broadway will be considered a "completed residence hall" by Housing Services, since each floor will have been renovated to include new lounges, kitchen appliances, new flooring for every room, new carpet in each hallway, and wireless Internet access. Broadway will be the first of all Columbia residence halls to reach the "completed" status.

=== Floors ===
* Elevators: 3 fast ones.
* Basement: laundry room with 9 washers and 10 dryers.
* Floor 1: lobby, lounge space, and part of the [[Junior Senior Advising Center]].
* Floor 2: four music practice rooms, a conference room, and a seminar classroom.
* Floors 3 to 13: each floor two men's bathrooms, two women's bathrooms, a lounge with television, and a kitchen with 2 ovens and a sink.
* Floor 3: computer lab with 8 computers and 1 printer.
* Floor 4: small exercise room.
* Floor 14: two lounges with great views, and a kitchen.

=== Rooms ===
* 13 big doubles
* 23 small doubles
* 136 exterior singles
* 164 interior singles

== Advantages and disadvantages ==

=== Advantages ===
* Near almost everything: Lerner, Butler, classes, subway, restaurants and stores on Broadway.
* Many higher-up rooms have great views.
* Generally clean. Corridors, lounges and kitchens are cleaned every weekday.
* 19 line is a 127 sq ft single.
* 19 and 11 lines have great locations and south views.
* 22 line is a nice double.
* Gorgeous sky-lounge on the top floor.

=== Disadvantages ===
* Small rooms compared to other options for seniors, like [[River Hall|River]] or [[Watt Hall|Watt]]
* Single rooms, multiple bathrooms, and fewer rooms per floor than freshman dorms make it dead quiet and not ideal for social life
* Sinks in the kitchen are too small to for washing most pots and pans, making them absolutely useless.
