A 170-foot façade of the terra-cotta-framed glass rises two stories from the second floor of Lehman Hall - Wollman Library on the Barnard College Campus. The Building, completed in 1959, is designed by R.B. O' Conner and W.H. Kilham Jr. to accommodate a library with book capacity of 150,000 volumes, classrooms and faculty offices. Barnard, the Women's undergraduate college of Columbia University, is the only women's college in New York City devoted entirely to the Liberal Arts. Its Student Body of 1450 represents over 40 of the States and about 25 foreign countries.
