History Built in 1981, and completely renovated 1990 - 91 with an additional refurbishment in summer of 1997. Named for the fact that it sits on the Easternmost side of campus overlooking Morningside Park. Rising senior groups of 2 nail them first day of picking. King of the suite style dorms, East Campus is as modern a building as you will find at Columbia, with various living arrangements. Townhouses contain suites for 4-6 people, with only 10 of them containing a double.
Flats have two large singles with kitchen and bath.
Four and five resident suites in the high-rise tower all feature one double. Each suite is modern, comfortable, and spacious. Typically, seniors and juniors gravitate towards EC's singles, but many sophomores jump at the chance for an EC double. There is an extraordinary social atmosphere, including an in-house professor, friendly Residence Life staff and UHC reps, a strong Greek presence, and several active special interest suites. A computer lab, an enormous main lounge with a big screen TV, and a pretty courtyard are all at residents' disposal.
