College Walk (New York City, New York)
World / USA / New Jersey / Edgewater World / United States / New York
College Walk was originally West 116th Street and open to traffic. In 1954, however, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower used his influence to have this section of the street between Amsterdam and Broadway closed to traffic and bricked over in commemoration of the University’s bicentennial. Eisenhower, Columbia’s 15th president, presided over Columbia in the years 1948- 1953 until he was elected President of the United States, from which he served two terms from 1953-1961.
The acquisition of College Walk helped to unify Columbia and created one enclosed campus. The trees on College Walk are lit nightly from November through February.
