Studebaker Building and Manhattanville Campus

Five blocks north of Columbia's historic Morningside Heights campus, the Manhattanville campus is a onetime industrial zone that is being reimagined for the next century as an open, welcoming place. The Columbia Finance offices are located just north of the first new buildings on campus, in the historic Studebaker Building. 

Studebaker Building

The historic Studebaker Building is home to Columbia Finance. While its interior and exterior pay homage to its industrial history, Studebaker features modern amenities like secure building access, acoustical treatments for a quiet workplace, and soft, energy-efficient lighting, making it an exceptional working environment.

The U.S. Green Building Council has certified Studebaker as LEED Silver for Commercial Interiors, the green benchmark for certifying high-performance green interiors.
