Manhattanville College

Nestled in Harrison, New York, Manhattanville University's campus blends historical significance with modern design. The architectural centerpiece, Reid Hall (1864), stands as a testament to the past, while the campus itself was designed with a central quad by Frederick Law Olmsted, the visionary behind Central Park. Since 1952, when the college moved to its current location, Manhattanville has expanded its facilities, incorporating sustainable design elements like the LEED Gold-Certified Berman Student Center and the Ohnell Environmental Center. The latter, designed by Maya Lin, integrates seamlessly with nature, featuring a classroom that requires no mechanical heating or cooling. The university's commitment to forward-thinking education is further embodied by the Center for Design Thinking, a renovated 1860s building fostering innovative solutions. Manhattanville's architecture reflects its dedication to both preserving its heritage and embracing a future-oriented, sustainable approach to learning.
