History This pre-war wonder was originally built as the Yorkshire Hotel. It was converted to a residence hall in 1964, and had a major refurbishment the summer of 1998, and a new 2nd floor conversion in 2000. Named for a former faculty member. Rising sophs who have accepted their fate of a double would be wise indeed to form a group of 2 and enter Group Suite Selection to snag a big Broadway view in a bay window double. ALL go to seniors.
Juniors scoop up the singles that are left.
However, one often finds interaction between different floors. The few seniors who take the larger singles tend to interact well with other residents. McBain rooms run the gamut in size and quality. Some are spacious and offer bay window views overlooking Broadway, but be wary of the inner shaft rooms. Shaft singles and doubles are often remarkably smaller than those on the fringe.
