  • Edmunds 1153 is the AI and Robotics Laboratory, and is reserved for use by faculty and students working on AI projects.

Libraries

The Seeley G. Mudd Science Library on the Pomona campus and the Norman F. Sprague Memorial Library on the Harvey Mudd campus house extensive collections in the fields of computer science, mathematics, engineering, and the natural sciences, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Both libraries are part of the shared library facilities available to all students at the Claremont Colleges.

Halona Cabin

Each year, Pomona CS students and faculty members hold an overnight weekend retreat at Pomona College's Halona Cabin, located in the beautiful San Jacinto mountains about two hours from campus. The CS retreat is purely a social event, designed to foster friendships and camaraderie among students in the CS program. Here are pictures from the February 2001 retreat and the September 2006 retreat. A picture of the cabin is shown below.
