Seeking Gold LEED Certification, Pitzer College’s student housing project will provide a harmonious blend of living and learning spaces for students and faculty. It will be visually open and inviting while providing a secure and warm domicile. Single-and double-room suites, comprising 318 beds, are included in four 3-and 4-story buildings.
Ground and second floor plans will be similar, while third floor units will have vaulted ceilings and potential bay windows. The single loaded exterior corridors will provide visual links to the courtyard while providing flow through ” ventilation for each individual unit. At each corner entry point are the faculty suites and residence assistants to provide enhanced security and encourage student/teacher interaction. Faculty suites will also contain exterior patios for informal classes or discussion with double height volume interior spaces. Facility features include entry gates and portals reminiscent of the existing gates throughout the adjacent Claremont Campus, cultural corridors, a courtyard gallery, “growing fields” (student landscape areas), a Pitzer vision wall, art studios, community patios and terraces, and indoor living/dining spaces. |
