Columbia Club Moves: The Columbia Club of
New York has moved to 15 West 43rd Street, which is also home to The Princeton Club of New
York. The new location features an athletic
facility, 49 overnight rooms, a member’s lounge, a 10,000-volume library, 10 meeting
rooms, and two restaurants.
The alliance with The Princeton Club is a
collaboration between the Columbia Club of New York, The Columbia University Club
Foundation, and Columbia University, according to Harmon D. Smith (CC ‘56), president
of the Columbia Club of New York. The
foundation and the University are providing financial support to facilitate and attract
new members.
According to James Nevius, Director of the
Columbia Club of New York, the location of the Club is valued for its convenience to
midtown attractions and transportation. The
setting makes the club an ideal place to take families, entertain business clients, or use
as an office away from home while in Manhattan. Another
attractive feature of this Club is its athletic facility, which includes two squash courts
and state-of-the-art exercise equipment.
The new location also offers greater
opportunities for networking with Columbia alumni in New York. Nevius says that alumni can
expect an expanded array of programs and events for members. Club members and guests can meet in the casual Bar
and Grill Dining Room or the more formal Woodrow Wilson Dining Room. Members can also take advantage of reciprocal
agreements with over 60 clubs throughout the world.
