Columbia Law College in Changchun!

Well, this is pretty neat - Changchun College has built a replica of Columbia’s Law Library!

“The seven-floor, 20,000-square-meter library was completed this April and designed to be a “larger version of Columbia University’s library,” according to the City Evening News, a local newspaper covering Jilin province.”

I wonder if comes with bad blueberry coffee and bedbugs, too?

Comment by Downtown David - 白大伟 on July 8, 2012 at 18:36: To make another correction, its called the Low Library building of Columbia University not the Law Library building. It was named after Seth Low who was a mayor of the City of New York at the turn of the century (1901). It is a quality building built in the old style when they used alot of masonry and Italian marble and has the largest free-standing dome in the United States. The building and campus was designed by the most famous architects at that time, McKim, Mead and White. The steps of the library building are a meeting and gathering place for Columbia students.

Comment by The Choonies on July 8, 2012 at 9:38: Wow! This is truly amazing. I will certainly arrange a trip there.

But there is so much happening in Changchun from the subway to new museums and new sports stadiums, all sorts of new centres and facilities. We really need a place to collate all this and tell our community - any ideas? Most of the Chinese I know are unaware of most of it and I find it by accident - but hey a building like this library is hard to miss but we did.

Comment by Richard Roman on July 3, 2012 at 11:22: OK. Changed it back to Columbia (as opposed to Colombia)
