HISTORY OF CLAREMONT COLLEGES • • •
•
•
•
Designed to be “a college of the New England type” on the west. Classes began in a small, rented house in Pomona, California in 1887. The Pacific Land Improvement Company bought 365 acres in Claremont – which was given to Pomona College six months later. In the 1920’s, the college was rapidly growing. Some believed that the college should grow larger and expand. President, Dr. James A. Blaisdell wanted to create a system of colleges like the Oxford and Cambridge models. “Group of institutions divided into small colleges” … “around a library and other utilities which they would use in common.”
In 2017, Claremont awarded 2,709 degrees Most Common Undergrad Majors

CONCEPT The new Claremont Colleges Student Center will serve as a central hub that connects all seven campuses. The 70,000 square foot building will also create a connection point for users between the many different daily destinations much like a train station connects travelers from one place to another. The student center will intersect and merge a variety of amenities and uses for students, faculty, and visitors while creating a destination point on campus.
PASSAGE OF TIME LIFE’S JOURNEY PATH TO THE FUTURE NEW BEGINNING
INTERSECTION CONNECTION CHOICE OF PATH CROSSROADS
LIGHT AT THE END PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE INTO THE UNKNOWN FREEDOM
CIRCULATION VS. SOCIAL SPACE The yellow line at a train station represents the universal language of “Do Not Cross”. This line separates the waiting overhang from the tracks. Yellow lines have been used throughout to represent the relationship between circulation and social space. The bright primary yellow will create a focal point in the space that allows users to quickly recognize passageways of “transit” and gathering spaces.

REFLECTED CEILING PLAN
The yellow band in the coffee shop wraps from floor to wall to ceiling to create an impression of lights on the
roof of a tunnel that glow around the form. Rather than the typical tunnel feeling long and endless, the yellow in the space makes the area feel wider and
more open. This draws the attention to the service counter, but also makes the user want to go beyond the yellow band to the social space in the back area.

REFLECTED CEILING PLAN
A train shed is a large structure that shelters trains. The design of the mezzanine is to resemble concepts of a train shed. For example, the artificial steel structure in the space runs perpendicular
to the direction of circulation. The mezzanine has been lowered below the level much like the tracks are lower than the side platforms and arches. Natural light floods the space from the west and north windows.

The monumental stair is designed to be the
connecting point of the student center. The stair has multiple landings that become social spots inviting users to sit and chat. The stair begins very wide on the first floor and becomes less wide as it continues. This is to give the impression of tracks receding into
the distance. The landings are supported by steel structure “stilts� resembling a bridge allowing open floor space below for lounge areas.
