History

Morningside College was established in 2006 with generous and imaginative donations from the Morningside Foundation and the Morningside Education Foundation. The Scottish economist and winner of the 1996 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Professor Sir James Mirrlees, was appointed the founding Master that same year. The fully residential College accommodates 300 students with communal dining three nights per week during term time. The College admitted its first cohort in 2010.

Facilities[1]

Morningside College consists of two buildings: Maurice R. Greenberg Building and the Tower Block. The building complex is equipped with gyms, laundry rooms, activity rooms and TV rooms. The two buildings are connected by a bridge. The dining hall is located at the basement level of the complex.
