Morningside Campus Access Update for Wednesday, October 25

October 24, 2023

As referenced in yesterday’s campus-wide update, beginning at 10 a.m. tomorrow, October 25, access to the Morningside campus will be limited to the pedestrian gates at Broadway and 116th and Amsterdam and 116th, along with the Wien Gate on 116th between Amsterdam and Morningside Drive. All other campus gates will be closed. Beginning at 1 p.m., access to campus will be limited to CUID holders only based on information received from law enforcement about a planned demonstration to occur near campus tomorrow evening. CUID-only access will end tomorrow as soon as conditions allow.

If you have a pre-scheduled meeting or event with a non-affiliate at 1 p.m. or later that cannot be rescheduled, please email [email protected] to coordinate arrangements.

This measure is temporary with gate access expected to revert to today’s expanded configuration on Thursday. Please note that there may be future instances that necessitate the implementation of gate closures or access restrictions based on information received from law enforcement of potential events that may affect Columbia. We recognize the limited gate configuration is an inconvenience and will make every effort to provide timely notifications if such restrictions are put in place. 

On behalf of the University, thank you for your continued patience, cooperation and understanding.
