619 West 113th Street

The Convent (formerly St.Hilda's House Convent) is a Columbia Housing owned building on 113th Street between Broadway and Riverside Drive. Housing and Student Affairs officially call it the "SIC House," which is more than a little sterilized.

The residence hall features an equal number of singles and doubles, housing a total of 78 students. The space is was renovated in 2013, and features wood floors, as well as a large basement lounge and kitchen space. In addition, the cellar also houses a bicycle storage room, laundry room, and computer lab. The renovation controversially included destroying the convent's formerly beautiful library.

In 2013, the space was split up for five special interest communities: The Student Wellness Project, Manhattan House, Creative Commons, Pre-Health, and ADi. Many of these groups were passed over by the Brownstone Review Committee, and were thought to received space in the Convent as a consolation prize.
