Likewise recorded is Pupin Hall, an alternate National Historic Landmark, which houses the physical science and stargazing divisions.

Union Theological Seminary
A statue by artist Daniel Chester French called Alma Mater is focused on the front steps of Low Memorial Library. Mckim, Mead & White welcomed French to assemble the model keeping in mind the end goal to blend with the bigger organization of the court and library in the inside of the grounds.
