Spring break is not only looked forward to by Columbia's students, but Facilities and Operations as well.  While most are away, Facilities and Operations takes advantage of the reduced campus population to perform work across campus.

This year was no exception and provided an opportunity for many projects to be completed across the Morningside campus, including classroom refreshes and pathway repairs. Highlights of the improvements are outlined below in alphabetical order by building.
