Pupin Physics Laboratories, commonly known as Pupin Hall, is a university building at Columbia University in Manhattan, designed by the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. Located on the south side of 120th Street just east of Broadway, it houses the university's physics and astronomy departments. The building holds significant scientific heritage: in 1965 it was designated a National Historic Landmark for its association with atomic splitting experiments connected to the Manhattan Project, and in 2009 the American Physical Society recognized it as a historic site in honor of physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi's contributions to magnetic resonance research.
