Most administrative offices are located at this location.

Vending machines can be found in the basement as well as on the first and thirteenth floor. Cigarette not keeping you warm outside? Come inside to the basement and enter the plexiglass cage to enjoy your nicotine.

There is an open computer lab on the second floor, as well as a few open computers in the basement.

 

Wabash Campus Building (W)
623 South Wabash Avenue

Most general advising happens in this building.

The Hokin Centers are great places to meet up with friends for a snack or otherwise. Vending machines are on the first floor on the south side of the building.

It is sometimes beneficial to take the stairs in this building due to smaller elevators. However there is a larger elevator at the rear of the building which at times has less traffic.

 

South Campus Building (S)
624 South Michigan Avenue

 

This building is home to the Library as well as the bookstore.

Vending machines are located on the east side of the building on the eleventh floor inside a small lounge space. However if you are looking for a quick snack or a Coke product you can visit the bookstore. This is a great idea for those days where you just don't have any cash because you are able to use your debit card to buy a soda.

Elevators in this building do tend to move slowly, it is best to arrive early to avoid tardiness due to elevator traffic.

 

11th Street Campus (TC)
72 East Eleventh Street

This building is home to most of the theater department.

The vending machines are located in the basement of this building.

Once again be wary of the elevators at this location. If you treat the elevator nicely it will get you all the way to the sixth floor.

 


 

The Music Center (MC)
1014 South Michigan Avenue

The Dance Center (DC)
1306 South Michigan Avenue

Dancers rejoice a building just for you.

Vending machines are in the basement along with a student lounge area. The best way to get there is by using a stairwell in the back of the building, left of the auditorium.

A computer lab is located on the second floor.

 

University Center (UCC)
Corner of State and Congress

 

Columbia students beware. If you are not a resident of this building be prepared to have a photo id ready. This building is a Fort Knox to those who are not residents of the building - but then again safety is a good thing.

Residence Center (RC)
731 South Plymouth Court

You may be asked to show your id upon entering, however this building is home to the only 24-hour open computer lab on campus.

 

1104 South Wabash Center (EC)
1104 South Wabash Avenue

 

It is unknown why this building has been given the initials EC, if you figure that mystery out let us know. Well it is not that much of a mystery, the EC came from the Conoway center which is located on the first floor of the building. Plans are in progress right now for the space to be fully converted by Fall 2005. We are looking forward to seeing the new space.

The Conoway will include an open computer lab as well as space for events of all types.

Vending machines are located on the south side of the building on the first floor. The machines are adjacent to a second set of elevators for this building, which are in the back of the building.

Most importantly this building is home to the HUB. The HUB is Columbia's current Student Center. Here you can start your own club or join an existing one. You can also voice your opinion of Columbia in the Student Government here.

 

Theater/Film Annex (TFX)
1415 South Wabash Avenue

We know nothing about this building. Extensive research was preformed and information could not be found as to what actually happens here. This building is the great Columbia mystery. It has been said that some film students know what goes on in here.

One fun fact is that it is Columbia's southern most building.

 

33 East Congress Parkway Building (C)
33 East Congress Parkway

 

This is another Columbia building where the stairs just may be faster. On most floors if you feel like you keep walking in circles it's probably because you are.

Vending machines are on the third floor. They are located in a small lounge which is on the east side of the building. If you continue walking around the east side on the third floor there is an open computer lab.

18 East Congress Parkway Building (C)
18 East Congress Parkway

One of Columbia's dorms, and a hostel.

 

1006 South Michigan Avenue Building (STE)
1006 South Michigan Ave

This building is very tricky.

Columbia owns two floors in this building, however there is only one elevator and no access to the stairs from the first floor so be prepared for elevator traffic.

For vending machines visit the 11th Street Building just around the corner.
