 '''The Grove''' (sometimes called "The Green") was a park at the northern end of the [[Morningside Heights campus]] located at street level directly across from [[Teachers College]]. It was part of Charles McKim's original campus plan. After years of development on the site beginning with [[Pupin Physics Laboratories]], and followed by [[Mudd]], [[Dodge Fitness Center]], [[Computer Science]] and [[Fairchild]] the park has ceased to exist. The last remaining fenced off patch of land at the corner of 120th St and Broadway behind [[Levien Gym]] and Pupin was excavated in March of [[2007]] to make way for the [[Northwest Science Building]].

 The first proposed development of the grove came in 1898 when [[Seth Low]] commissioned the [[Grove Dormitories]] from [[McKim, Mead, and White]]. However, funds were never raised and the buildings were never built.

-Perhaps as a crude joke, the area between Schermerhorn, Fairchild, and Mudd is still referred to as "the Grove." However rather than being a park, it is the home to six dumpsters; the University's trash can.
+Perhaps as a crude joke, the area between Schermerhorn, Fairchild, and Mudd is still referred to as "the Grove." However rather than being a park, it is the home to six dumpsters and emits a foul odor of decay; the University's garbage can.
 Prior to development, the Grove stretched from behind [[Havemeyer]], [[Schermerhorn]] and the foundation of [[University Hall]] (now [[Uris Hall]]) all the way to 120th street.
