🛏 Residential Halls
Ninety-four percent of our students live on campus all four years, and first-years live in 7 of the 14 halls on South Campus. Sponsor groups are "home-away-from-home" small groups of students who live together with mentors (typically sophomores) in these residence halls.
Clark I
Clark I was completely renovated during the summers of 2001 and 2002 and houses 116 students, primarily juniors and seniors. Clark I is a smoke free building with two floors and is located immediately north of Frary Dining Hall. Most rooms in Clark I are two-room doubles and open to courtyard entrances. There are two five-person suites for a more communal living environment. Clark I has laundry facilities on the ground floor.
Clark V
Clark V, renovated during the summer of 2003, is home to 95 students, primarily seniors. There is a combination of singles on short hallways and two room doubles with separate entrances. Clark V is a smoke free building and is built around three courtyards and over a social room.
Lawry Court
Lawry Court, built in the early 1980s, is one of the more unique buildings. It consists of three separate towers, each with three floors. Each floor has eight single rooms situated around a lounge and bathroom facilities. Lawry is next to Walton Commons, where the laundry facility is located. Lawry is a smoke free building.
Norton-Clark III
Norton-Clark III, renovated during the summer of 2009, is actually two separate residence halls that were joined together, but each has unique features. Norton has 34 single rooms on two floors. It is L-shaped, bordering a small courtyard. Clark III has three floors with a mixture of singles and one room doubles on short hallways. Part of the building surrounds a courtyard and the other runs parallel to Sixth Street and Bixby Plaza.

Walker Hall
Walker Hall provides the largest lounge on campus, as well as laundry and kitchen facilities for 112 residents. The residence hall faces Honnold library to the north. A large grassy area to the north and east, called Walker Beach, provides a good place to play Frisbee, study or sunbathe. The main lounge area has a baby grand piano and a television. Laundry facilities are in the basement. Most of the rooms in Walker are singles arranged along two main hallways. Walker wings are adjacent to Walker's main halls. The Walker wing rooms are singles and two-room doubles, and have outside entrances from small courtyards. Walker was completely renovated during the summer of 1999 and is a smoke free building.
💬 Walker Wall
In 1956, a curving five-foot wall was built as a flood break along the northern edge of the grassy area known as Walker Beach. Beginning in 1975, the wall would take on a more visible role in the life of the college as Pomona’s free speech wall. Today, this unique and valuable public free speech space highlights Pomona's affinity groups year-round.
⭐ Women's Union
The mission of the Pomona College Women’s Union is to secure positive changes for women in their personal and political lives and to work toward deconstructing gender-based constraints within both local and global contexts. We will engage The Claremont Colleges while extending our reach into our surrounding communities. The Women’s Union is committed to providing space and programming involving all genders, tailored to the diverse needs of women. In order to fulfill these commitments, we will exercise an active position against interlocking systems of oppression based on, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, and ability. The Women's Union is located on the second floor of Walker Lounge.
