 The '''Thomas J. Watson Library of Business and Economics''' is located on the ground floor of [[Uris Hall]]. It is usually just known as the Business and Economics Library. It was named after [[Thomas J. Watson, Jr.]], former president of IBM and son of a Columbia trustee. The ground floor of the library shakes sometimes due to the fact that is is built immediately over the [[Dodge Fitness Center]]'s indoor track and a lot of steam machinery.
 It is the only library where talking and eating is generally allowed. This is due to the collaborative nature of [[business school]] assignments. However, it also makes the library a great place for undergrads to complete group work. There are numerous small group study rooms around the main reading room, which may be reserved by business school students. However when they're vacant, undergraduates are permitted to use them.
