Schapiro CEPSR

The Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physical Science Research (CEPSR) is a recently built research facility located between Pupin and Mudd, both of which are connected to CEPSR via skybridges. The building is often just called CEPSR (pronounced Sep-sir) to avoid confusion with Morris A. Schapiro Hall, an undergraduate dormitory. It is located at 530 West 120th Street.

Davis Auditorium, a very nice 198-seat auditorium/leture hall is located on the lobby level.

It was built in the 90s with funds provided by Morris Schapiro, and built in a postmodern style with a heavily neotraditional bent. In fact, it is the most explicit attempt to replicate McKim, Mead, and White's original campus architecture since the construction of Butler Library in the 1930s.
