For more than 75 years, the Faculty House has served as a locus for social
and intellectual interaction among the faculty of the University, and over the
last 25 years it has expanded its mission to serve the diverse needs of
administrators, staff, alumni, and graduate students as well. The red brick and
limestone building, designed by McKim, Mead and White in the original campus style,
was erected in 1923 and is located on East Campus adjacent to Wien Hall and the
President’s House.
The Faculty House offers dining, catering, and conference facilities
featuring the fine cuisine and caring service of Restaurant Associates.
Weekdays during the academic year, the DeWitt Clinton Dining Room, Garden Café,
and 117th Lounge are open for lunch and dinner. The distinctive event rooms of
the Faculty House, from small meeting rooms to large reception rooms
accommodating as many as 300 guests, are available for University events and
private affairs every day, year round.
The House sponsors events such as the Warner-Rabi Concert Series, special
dinners and wine tastings, jazz nights in collaboration with the Center for
Jazz Studies, and book readings in conjunction with Columbia University Press.
More than 1,500 functions, ranging from small meetings and seminars to gala
dinners and wedding receptions, take place in the Faculty House each year.
The building also houses the Office of University Seminars (many of whose
sessions take place in Faculty House), Valerie Wilson Travel, and Law
School student organization
offices.

but it does offer a discount and other benefits. Interested students should visit
