160 Convent Ave
New York, NY 10031
Constructed from 1903 to 1907, Shepard Hall became the first building on the College of the City of New York's new campus and was originally known as the Main Building. The Late Gothic Revival, castle or cathedral-like structure designed by George Browne Post was built of stone and terracotta. The Great Hall is the centerpiece of Shepard Hall and City College of New York. A 14,000 square foot space with twelve sixty-foot stained glass windows and a renovated lighting system, the venue is perfect for showcasing books and art. Edwin H. Blashfield's original mural titled “The Graduate" anchors the Hall, depicting the passing of wisdom from The Alma Mater onto a young scholar.
The venue is 10 to 15 minutes from the Upper West Side and 20 minutes from the Upper East Side in light traffic. It is accessible from the A, B, C and 1 subway lines.
There is no on-site parking. There are numerous parking lots nearby, including:
