Facilities

Plimpton has 15 residential floors, each with 4 suites. Rooms and hallways are tiled.

Each suite is comprised of 5 singles. The single in the corner of each suite is slightly larger than the other 4.

There is a TV lounge, computer lab, and study lounge location on the 1st floor. Laundry is in the basement, along with the "Clay Collective."

Accessibility

Wheelchair access is on the street level through a locked door, left of main entrance (call the desk attendant for access). Both elevators stop on all floors including the basement.

Floor plans

Floor plans are available at http://barnard.edu/reslife/floorplans/Plimpton.pdf.

Advantages

  • Easy access to the northern Amsterdam Avenue restaurant row, as well as (relatively) cheap Appletree Market and its video rental selection

Disadvantages

  • Although campus is right across the intersection, it's a long walk to a gate that's open after 5pm. Getting special swipe access might be key.
