The courtyard includes a series of Physics Interactives that are used to let students tangibly experience physics principals. The courtyard and interactives are open to the public, as is the planetarium which regularly hosts school groups to introduce them to astronomy. Parking was eliminated from the site with 98% of students living on campus and many faculty biking to campus on the well-developed, flat bike lane network. “The Pomona College Vision is to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2030, by creating a socially engaged just environment that provides active learning experiences, small footprints, and powerful results” Brian Faber, Pomona College Project Manager top: Before - Parking Lot middle: After - View of NW facing courtyard bottom: Science District site plan Photo Credit: Photo by Jim Simmons Photography CENTER FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT • LIVABLE BUILDING AWARDS 2018 DESIGN + INNOVATION Pomona College is located inland Southern California minimizing solar gain the cooling can often be supplied with mild winters, hot summers in the triple digits, and using only cooling towers rather than compressor is subject to poor air quality due to its valley location based cooling.

    The Claremont Colleges Mrs. Ferentz visited The Claremont Colleges February 2017. The Claremont Colleges is a consorum of 5 undergraduate liberal arts colleges nestled in beauful Southern California (1 hour east of Los Angeles). The undergraduate colleges include: Pomona College, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, and Pitzer College. Each of the Claremont Colleges is an independent instuon with its own student body, faculty, campus, mission and identy. Together, the col‐ leges form a rich intellectual network and offer cross‐registraon in courses, and share a bookstore, health and counseling services, recreaonal opportunies and a prisne two million volume library. Over 8,000 stu‐ dents aend the Claremont Colleges, and students connect and interact through over 250 clubs and more than 2,000 courses. Outdoor study spaces are abundant‐ from quiet rooop tables to manicured lawns and courtyards, there is ample space highlighted with the stunning San Gabriel mountains as the backdrop. Pomona College Pomona College was the first of the 5 built and the highest ranked amongst the consorum. It is a liberal arts college with small classes (8:1 student to faculty rao), as the founders envisioned a “New England type college” when designing the school. Pomona offers over 45 majors and 50% of students study abroad. Weekly guest speakers host lectures and students sign up in person to get the chance to sit with the guests, including Bill Clinton, Laverne Cox, and many others. “Ski‐Beach Day” takes advantage of the locaon: stu‐ dents ski at a local resort in the morning and then spend the aernoon at a beach in Orange County.

    $25 Million Gift Establishes New Center to Accelerate Student Creativity and Collaboration at the Claremont Colleges Claremont

    CONTACT: MARYLOU FERRY VICE PRESIDENT & CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER (909) 607-0283 $25 MILLION GIFT ESTABLISHES NEW CENTER TO ACCELERATE STUDENT CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION AT THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES CLAREMONT, California (Sept. 10, 2015) -- The presidents of Pomona College, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College and Pitzer College (known collectively as the 5Cs) today announced the establishment of the Rick and Susan Sontag Center for Collaborative Creativity. The center’s purpose is to accelerate the creative development of students and to equip them to work collaboratively to address the future’s most ambiguous problems and complex challenges. A landmark $25 million gift from Rick Sontag, a 1964 graduate of Harvey Mudd College, and his wife, Susan Sontag, a 1964 graduate of Pomona College, will provide the new center with both operating expenses for its early years and endowment support to ensure its longevity, benefiting all undergraduate students and faculty of The Claremont Colleges. “The challenges we face today call for audacious thinkers and doers who can work collaboratively and creatively across disciplines,” explained Rick Sontag. “The center will encourage students to navigate change, pull together knowledge from a vast range of sources and have meaningful impact on the most difficult problems with no clear solutions.” A focus on undergraduate education and an emphasis on the creative power of collaboration will distinguish the Sontag Center. As part of an exceptional consortium within higher education, the 5Cs are uniquely poised to support the center’s goals. The opening of the new center is the culmination of a yearlong effort involving students, faculty and staff of the 5Cs in exploring new approaches to creative collaboration.
