With the opening of the Columbia Business School this spring, we wanted to ensure that the community is aware of the numerous public spaces on the Manhattanville campus. Enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the cafés, then take a stroll through an art gallery, and if you're up for it, go rock climbing. But who says you have to do it all in one day? Check out these places while you're in the neighborhood.
