Seeley Mudd Hall is arguably one of Columbia's ugliest buildings, but fortunately tucked into an inconspicuous corner, unlike Uris. The building is appropriately the headquarters of SEAS. It is filled with prison-like cinder block classrooms.
It's imposing size and unimaginative brown color earned it the nickname "the brick," to go along with "the toaster" for Jerome Greene Hall.
Students are normally able to swipe into Mudd 24-hours a day, including Carleton Lounge at the immediate left of the main entrance on the campus level.
Other campuses have more Mudd Halls. All of them, however, are named after Seeley G. Mudd, a prominent philanthropist and the son of Seeley Wintersmith Mudd, whom our Mudd Hall is named after. Our Mudd Hall appears to be the only Seeley W. Mudd Hall in the entire nation. There are at least a dozen Seeley G. Mudds. We are therefore unique and special.
We will ignore the fact that USC has a Seeley Wintersmith Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
