I am curious about the the basketball thing because i don’t get it - Columbia has a basketball court, with wood, and hoops, and a gym for athletes to train in. Second, I see you posted this same thing at the other ivies. If you don’t have the time to research on your own and ask specific questions, well, why should we be kind here. In short: you come across as a jerk here.

but in case anyone else cares - like most things, this is something you can find on the columbia website with minimal effort.

“In the summer of 2002, a brand new state-of-the-art floor was built that provides better spring and cushion for Columbia’s student-athletes. The project, a cooperative effort between Columbia University’s department of facility management and its department of physical education and intercollegiate athletics, cost nearly $1 million. The improvements include a custom floor created by J.J. Curran of Connor Flooring Systems. The custom floor features 1.5-inch boards, different from the normal 2.25-inch boards. The thinner, more tightly-packed boards provide more stability for the surface.”
