Redirect to Columbia University as ATD. Mccapra (talk) 21:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since this was designed by a notable architect who was actually Dean of Columbia's School of Architecture at the time, there would be expected to be discussion in material about his work--I'll take a look. . (but for what it's worth, and as the article quite fairly indicates, it's a pretty horrible example of campus architecture, ) DGG ( talk ) 09:58, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As I thought , major works by major architects always have references. (just using Google Scholar), there are the following 3rd party articles:

Pelkonen El. "In Context: Tschumi at Lerner Hall." PRAXIS: Journal of Writing+ Building. 1999 Oct 1;1(0):82-7.

Campbell R. "Alfred Lerner Hall, Columbia University, NYC: Modernism and contextualism meet at Columbia's new student center, with provocative results". Architectural Record. 1999;187:94-101.

Capurso R. "Bernard Tschumi Architects/Gruzen Samton Associated Architects Lerner Hall Student Center, Columbia University, New York." Industria Delle Costruzioni. 2001:40-5.

Sowa A. "Students' Center, Lerner Hall, Columbia University, New York-Bernard Tschumi and Ove Arup architects". Architecture D'Aujourd Hui. 2000 Jul 1;329:60-3.

Henninger P. "Special effects genereren nog geen event-architecture. Alfred Lerner Hall in New York van Bernard Tschumi." Architect-Den Haag-. 1999;30:70-5.

and a book that covers it, but I do not know in what depth: Hartoonian G. Architecture and spectacle: a critique. Routledge; 2016

There is also the architect's book about the building:

Tschumi, Bernard, Hugh Dutton, and Jesse Reiser. Glass Ramps / Deviations from the Normative : Alfred Lerner Hall, Columbia University. London: AA Publications, 2001. ISBN 9781902902005. That's perhaps not strictly third party, but I think it counts.

And the architect's web page on the building: Bernard Tschumi Architects "Lerner Hall Student Center, New York, 1994-1999" [1]

I have added them. DGG ( talk ) 03:59, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep thanks to improvements since nomination by DGG. NemesisAT (talk) 19:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep satisfies Wikipedia:NBUILD, thus GNG.Djflem (talk) 08:49, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per AGF on the offline sources provided by DGG, which strongly suggest the topic is significantly covered by multiple reliable, independent sources, thus meeting GNG. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:50, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
