Westbeth Artists Housing at 55 Bethune Street in the West Village is an off-campus affiliated residence for New School upperclass and graduate students, particularly those in art, design, and performance programs. This historic complex — a former Bell Telephone Laboratories facility converted into artists' housing in 1970 — houses approximately 60 New School residents in apartment-style units with private bathrooms and full kitchens. The location in the West Village provides a quieter residential environment while remaining accessible to campus via subway or a short walk.
