East Campus (in common parlance, EC) is the largest residence hall. It was built in 1981, was completely renovated in 1991, and has received additional renovations in 1997, 2002, and 2004. East Campus' street address is 70 Morningside Drive. Technically, the high-rise part of EC is called "Hudson Hall" after SEAS alumnus Percy K. Hudson, but nobody calls it that. This is probably because EC is the dorm the furthest from the Hudson River.
East Campus has two main types of suites: townhouse suites and high-rise suites.
Groups need at least 2 seniors (as well as 1 junior and 2 sophomores) to get an Exclusion Suite. Only some groups with only 1 senior are usually able to get these suites.
The entrance to the dormitory building and the Heyman Center is located on Ancel Plaza. Entrance to the Center for Career Education, located in the bowels of the EC complex is located next to Wien Hall across from Faculty House.

History
Architectural responses
Ada Louise Huxtable, architecture critic of the New York Times:
"Consider a building that has to be vandal-proof, constructed of maintenance-free materials with every surface resistant to neglect and abuse, where violation of design and function must be an anticipated fact, along with defacement and petty thievery -- a place where surveillance is a necessity and population is transient. A description of a minimum security prison? Not at all. This is a dormitory for Columbia University... it is easy to see how an austerely simple aesthetic can be brought down to this dispiriting level..." (Architecture, Anyone? p.236)
