'''McVickar Hall''' is a building on [[113th Street]] between [[Broadway]] and [[Riverside Drive]]. The building is named for [[James McVickar]], a member of Columbia's faculty in the mid-19th century. The building served as the home of the [[School of Social Work]] until August [[2004]] when the school's new building on 122nd and Broadway opened.

After SSW's departure from the building, Columbia proposed converting McVickar into a full-fledged infirmary for the University, bringing [[Health Services]] and [[CPS]] under one roof and adding a radiology suite and pharmacy. However, intense protests from the neighborhood, citing potential noise pollution and the threat of 'psychic emergencies', lead to a change of plans. McVickar is now being renovated to serve as the new home for [[UDAR]].

However, intense protests from the neighborhood, citing potential noise pollution and the threat of 'psychic emergencies', lead the university to abandon plans for the infirmary. Instead the University decided to convert the building into an alumni center, moving alumni offices from the [[Interchurch Center]] closer to campus.
