Macaulay Honors College Building


The Macaulay building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side is not only an example of Gothic Revival architecture, but also a fully modernized hub of Macaulay community activity. Students and alumni are welcome to work, study or hang out. Other CUNY students are welcome as guests. (All visitors are asked to present ID.)

The building is wheelchair accessible from the street via a ramp to the lower level. Please inform Public Safety at (212) 729-2901 and they will assist you. An elevator stops at every floor of the building and  accessible bathrooms are located on the Cellar (C) Level.
