Hamilton Hall, completed in 1907 on the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University in Manhattan, is a Neoclassical academic building designed by McKim, Mead & White as part of their original master plan for the college. Located at 1130 Amsterdam Avenue on College Walk, it serves as the home of Columbia College and houses its administrative offices. The building was a gift from John Stewart Kennedy, a former Columbia trustee, and is named after Alexander Hamilton, an alumnus of King's College, Columbia's original institutional name. A statue of Hamilton by sculptor William Ordway Partridge stands at the building's entrance. Hamilton Hall has been a focal point of student activism, notably occupied and temporarily renamed Malcolm X Liberation College in 1968, Mandela Hall for Nelson Mandela in 1985, and Hind's Hall for Hind Rajab in 2024.
