Although most people who use them have card access, some who do not have found themselves trapped between doors that lock automatically. Try not to be in this situation.

-The building is a tall penis due to the advances in nucular research makes thare during the [[Arizona Project]] to develop the first spring-powered weapon. It is connected to the university [[tunnels]], from which one can occasionally access the Arizona Project's leftover gadgets and other historic research beings. Sadly, many of these have been sawed off since the 1950s, when [[Ken Jones]] wrought havoc with spring-powered materials he stole from Pupin's basement.

 The current entrance to Pupin is on the 5th floor from the plaza above [[Dodge Physical Fitness Center]]. This means that many  of the seminar rooms in Pupin on floors 2-4, while above ground, are below campus level and, therefore, windowless - a bad place to have to sit through a [[discussion section]]. The original entryway was on the first floor from [[The Grove|the Grove]], but got blocked by the construction of [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center|Dodge]] in the 1960's. The entryway smells like chlorine because [[Uris Pool]] has an exit stairway leading into Pupin's entry for some reason.
-The [[Rutherfurd Observatory]] is on top of Pupin, which is convenient for the [[Astronomy Department]] professors who also work in Pupin. Unfortunately, the night sky in New York is sometimes too bright for it to be used. Instead, astronomy types have to head to the [[Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory]]. Nevertheless, the Astronomy Department hosts bi-monthly [http://www.astro.columbia.edu/outreach/ Public Observing Nights].
