First off, thank you for choosing to visit California State Polytechnic University, Pomona! We hope you enjoy your tour of the campus and see the many features that make this school so special. You can choose to follow the tour route from beginning to end or to visit the areas that you are most interested in. Heritage/History: The way that Cal Poly Pomona came to be is actually quite unique. We can thank both William K. Kellogg, the cereal magnate, and Charles Voorhis, an automotive pioneer and GM executive. They both purchased the land in Pomona and San Dimas that is now our campus. Kellogg came over in 1925 from Battle Creek Michigan to purchase land that would soon become the Kellogg Ranch. He constructed a family home (Kellogg Mansion), a manor house, Arabian horse stables (University Plaza), and several ranch buildings of Spanish-style architecture. It was here that Kellogg carried out his lifetime dream to develop purebred Arabian Horses. His original collection included horses from California, Arabia, Egypt, England and Poland. To this day our Arabian horse program is the oldest, continuous breeding program in the United States; 70% of Arabian horses in the country can trace their roots back to Kellogg. In 1932, Kellogg donated his land along with 87 horses and a $600,000 endowment all to the state. Though Voorhis’ story is not as prevalent on campus, it is no less significant. He bought his San Dimas land in 1927 and a year later he opened a school for underprivileged boys on that land. It functioned as a private school for 10 years until the Voorhis family donated it to the state. *Refer to timeline on following page for more dates and events leading to Cal Poly Pomona as we know it today

To begin your tour, you will start at the Student Service Building, East

1. Student Services Building (Bldg. 121): The Student Services Building symbolizes the aspirations and mission of the university and

will serves as the campus “front door” for prospective students, returning students, alumni and visitors. The building houses the Office of he President, Division of University Advancement, and Divisions of Academic, Student and Administrative Affairs. The undulating roof design is inspired by the surrounding hills and mountains, branding the building both as a campus landmark and a memorable place of arrival. The roof also serves a primary and essential role in passive solar design. Its perforated overhangs shade the exterior glass, reduce thermal loads and glare, and maximize good quality daylight.

Now that we have covered this building, continue around the building going south to the library.

2. University Library (Bldg. 15): The library, building 15, is a multipurpose facility. You will notice it has two contradicting

designs to it. An older, dark red brick color building, into a very modern, tan and glass building. That is because in 2008 it underwent a $58 million renovation, adding about 100,000 square feet to it. When you come up to the entrance you will see the 24-Hour computer lab. That facility is open 24/7 to students and faculty by way of their Bronco ID Card. It is equipped with bathrooms, tables, computers, as well as printers. Upon entering the library itself you will be walking by a number of classrooms. The first room on your left is a 125-seat lecture hall; one of the largest classrooms on campus (with the largest being the 170 seat hall in the College of Business building). Now is a good time to mention, our average class size at Cal Poly is 35, and our student-faculty ratio is 25:1. Follow the hallway on to the foyer now. The facilities on the first floor include the full Starbucks as well as our Arabian Horse Library where you can read all about the history with William Kellogg and his Arabian Horse collection. Upstairs are numerous learning resource centers, including:

• MASH-math and science help • General Tutoring • Writing Center • Reading Center • Study rooms (bookable by students) • Computer Labs

You can now exit the library and walk across University Park toward University Plaza.

3. University Plaza (Bldg. 26): Many students on campus refer to this building as “The Old Stables,” simply

because they were built in 1927 and used by Mr. Kellogg to house his original Arabian horse collection. Nowadays it serves mainly as our Office of Student Life & Cultural Centers. They oversee our 316 clubs and organizations, Greek Life, and Rose Float Program offices. In addition to those, our Pride Center and Native American Student Centers are located in the Plaza. Those are two of our six cultural centers on campus; all working to bring our richly diverse campus together.

As you come out of the Plaza, head to your left down to building 66, Bronco Bookstore.

4. Bronco Bookstore (Bldg. 66): Inside the bookstore you are able to purchase any bronco apparel or accessories,

school supplies, computer hardware and software, as well as textbooks on the second floor. They allow you to acquire books in a few different ways:

• Buying new or used books • Renting new or used books • Purchasing e-books

They also have a book buy-back program in place to allow students to make some money back at the end of the quarter. Also inside are Counseling and Psychological Services, Renaissance Scholar Program, and classrooms.” The Bookstore is part of the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, which is a non-profit, self-supporting auxiliary service of the campus.

Continue through the bookstore and enter the lower end of campus, the Bronco Commons.

5. University Suites/Kellogg Gym/BRIC: On campus are 4 Residential Suites. These give upperclassmen the opportunity to

live on campus after their first year and continue to have a meal plan. Each suite will house 4 students; and have 2 or 4 bedrooms (depending on which layout you choose), 2 bathrooms, a small kitchen, living room, and balcony. The meal plans are more geared towards using Meal Points at the on-campus markets, food courts, Los Olivos Dining Commons, or Farm Store. Room and board for the year in the suites is on average $12,000.

If you want to move off campus after your first year we will help you with that. Our University Village is right across Temple Ave. The Village is a year-round operation with each apartment designed for four-person occupancy. Phase I houses residents in two double occupancy rooms or two large rooms with one person per room; Phase II residents live in four single rooms per apartment or two single rooms and one double occupancy room; and Phase III, completed in the fall 2005, has four single room apartments. Each furnished apartment includes air conditioning and heating, cable television, internet connection, full kitchen, dining area, living room, and two bathrooms.

Across the way is the Kellogg Gym, where our basketball team practices and competes. Cal Poly Pomona is in the NCAA and competes at the Division 2 level. We have

Page 6: CAL POLY POMONA · bathrooms, a small kitchen, living room, and balcony. The meal plans are more geared towards using Meal Points at the oncampus markets, food courts, Los Olivos

6 | O u t r e a c h , R e c r u i t m e n t & E d u c a t i o n a l P a r t n e r s h i p s S e l f - G u i d e d T o u r

10 team sports—5 men and 5 women: men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, soccer, track & field, men’s baseball and women’s volleyball.

Finally the BRIC, or Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex as it is formally known. This will be the main fitness and activity center for all students on campus. Students can rock climb on our 52 foot rock wall, take part in fitness classes, play a variety of sports on our multipurpose courts, take a lap on our indoor track, or utilize the huge selection of workout equipment. Outside the BRIC is where we have our lap pool and “resort-style” pool. Along with all that, there will be a Jamba Juice and sitting areas.

Go ahead and take the winding path in between the bookstore and the student center, go up the steps and into the Bronco Student Center.

6. Bronco Student Center (Bldg. 35): The motto of this building is “Eat, Meet, Study, Play,” and as you cruise through it

you will pick up on each of these. It is essentially the living room of the campus. One of our food courts is in here, as well as a Round Table Pizza. Keep walking past Round Table and you will see our Bronco Copy and Mail center and the Cal Poly Federal Credit Union. Upon entering the games room, you’ll notice a variety of arcade games and pool/ping pong tables. But in addition to this equipment, they also serve as the campus lost and found and a table-rental center. At the front counter is a one stop shop for discounted tickets to movies and LA attractions!

Head upstairs and out the doors of the BSC, turn right, and continue your tour towards the quad.

7. Music/Theater/Kellogg West/Collins College: The Music Department presents over 50 concerts/events annually, including

faculty/staff artist concerts, renowned artists, alumni artists, and department ensemble concerts. Department ensembles are open to all university students and performances are open to the general public. The Theatre Department awards under-graduate degrees in theatre, emphasizing theatrical production and the “doing” of theatre. Courses are offered in all aspects of theatre, both artistic and academic. The Kellogg West Conference Center & Lodge is a full service hotel and conference facility located on a natural and tranquil tree lined hilltop on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona. Featuring well-appointed guest rooms, Kellogg West offers a special visitor rate of $79 plus tax single-occupancy or $89 plus tax double-occupancy for guests who are touring Cal Poly Pomona with the Office of Admissions and Outreach.

Just past the music building you will see an old looking building with a red terracotta roof, that is building 95, this is your next stop on the tour.

8. Cultural Centers (Bldg. 95):

Cal Poly Pomona is one of the more diverse campuses in the Cal State system which allows for a tremendous learning environment. The Cultural Centers provide a

Page 7: CAL POLY POMONA · bathrooms, a small kitchen, living room, and balcony. The meal plans are more geared towards using Meal Points at the oncampus markets, food courts, Los Olivos

7 | O u t r e a c h , R e c r u i t m e n t & E d u c a t i o n a l P a r t n e r s h i p s S e l f - G u i d e d T o u r

multitude of programs to enhance cross cultural communication and experiences to our student body. This building originally was the house of the Kellogg Ranch manager. Now it houses more cultural centers:

• The African American Student Center • The Asian & Pacific Islander Student Association • The Violence Prevention and Women’s Resource Center • The Cesar E. Chavez Center for Higher Education • The Native American Student Center • The Pride Center

All six of these centers specialize in programs geared towards different audiences, however, by no means does someone have to be of one of those specific cultures to join a center, they are open to everyone.

9. Campus Center Market Place & Career Center (Bldg. 97):

On the ground floor of this facility is the Career Center. Over 400 employers from different industries and organizations visit our school every year. They also help students find full, part-time, and internship job openings through their helpful services. They do resume workshops, mock interviews, and very large career fairs to match students with companies in their fields of interest. In addition, they also announce on-campus job openings.

Right upstairs from the Career Center is the Market Place. This is another campus food court where you can get Carl’s Jr, Taco Bell, Panda Express, a salad & soup bar, Pony Express convenience store, and a Jamba Juice Express.

Make your way between Career and Cultural Centers and toward the concrete stage in the quad

10. University Quad: The quad is the large grassy area outside the Market Place. At this point you are

in the central point on campus; surrounded by all eight of our colleges. This is also where our graduation ceremonies take place. Here is a brief summary of our colleges and what they offer: College of Agriculture (Bldg. 2) Students in this college can study the science, business, and the education that goes into the Agriculture field.

Now that you have been through the Quad and learned about all of the colleges surrounding you, make your way up the inclined path to University Drive near building 1.

11. Student health Services (Bldg. 46): All the way up University Dr. lies the health center. When you’re away from home and in need of medical services, a staff of licensed medical doctors, nurse practitioners and registered nurses are available to assist you. Once enrolled, your pre-paid health fee covers most services, including office visits for routine medical care (colds, flu, cuts, sprains, etc.), x-rays, minor surgery and most lab work. Student Health Services is a fully staffed and licensed ambulatory care facility, accredited every three years by the Accredited Association for Ambulatory health Care.

12. Old Administration Building (Bldg. 1): Inside this building are a few key departments. One being the Kellogg Honors College (KHC). The honors college is designed for high-achieving students to help them prepare for future careers and to provide an outstanding academic experience in a close community of students and faculty. The students are able to honors courses, which are limited to 20 students, and have use of the Honors Commons and computer lab. Incoming freshmen will be invited to apply to the Honors Program if they are exempt from the EPT and ELM tests at Cal Poly Pomona (scores of 550 or higher on both math and verbal SAT

tests) and a 3.5 GPA or above (on a 4.0 scale). They can also get invited into the program if they graduate in the top 5% of their class. Incoming transfer students who apply to the program must have at least a 3.5 GPA at their previous institutions. Along with the KHC, students can also study abroad in any of our 22 participating countries. The International Center is on the first floor of this building and can handle any and all questions regarding these opportunities.

Follow University Drive downhill toward Mansion Lane

13. Manor House (Bldg. 111):

The Manor House was designed by Pasadena architect, Myron Hunt in the mid-1920s. It is a lovely two-story Spanish-style home with 17 rooms and more than 17,000 square feet of living space. The house was built for Kellogg’s eldest son Karl, and his family. Karl suffered from tuberculosis and hoped that the California weather along with working on the ranch would improve his health. The most recent residents of the Manor House are Dr. Michael Ortiz, our university president, and his wife Betty who have lived there since 2004.

14. Kellogg House (Bldg. 112 & 113): The Kellogg House, also known as the “Big House or the Kellogg Mansion is perched up on the hills behind the Manor House. It was built in 1927 to serve as Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg’s California home until they moved to Palm Springs in the mid-1930s. This house was also designed by Myron Hunt. A few of his other notable projects include the Pasadena Rose Bowl and the Huntington Library. The style of the house is a hybrid of architecture, which combined the formal courtyards, gardens and elements of Spanish, Italian and Islamic architecture with the informality of a growing nouveau-riche society. The house also served as living quarters for army personnel, housing for students involved in campus projects, and an educational center for a rehabilitation program. In 1982 the house was renovated for faculty use, meetings, and receptions, and renamed the University House. Thanks to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the home has been restored to its original grandeur and renamed the Kellogg House Pomona. It has been refurnished with Kellogg Ranch artifacts and other artwork.

Across the street from the Manor House lies our two main College of Engineering buildings, if you are interested, feel free to walk through them.

15. College of Engineering (Bldgs. 9 & 17): Though we covered the degrees offered and had a glimpse at some of the clubs within this college, there is much more than meets the eye. The College of Engineering is ranked 3rd in the nation for undergraduate engineering programs, among public universities. The college offers more laboratory courses than most other engineering programs—courses taught by faculty who are active leaders in the engineering field. Another perk, classes are small for undergrad and upper-division classes, around 24 students, which allow students to get to know their professors. Building 17 is the college’s $52 million engineering lab facility, the newest building to the department. It houses

11 | O u t r e a c h , R e c r u i t m e n t & E d u c a t i o n a l P a r t n e r s h i p s S e l f - G u i d e d T o u r

teaching laboratories, graduate research space, self-instructional computer labs, faculty offices and special instructional space.

Once again, follow University Drive down toward our duck pond and rose garden

16. University Housing Services (Bldg. 59): Living on campus has many benefits. Studies show that students who live on campus tend to have higher grade point averages and are more likely to stay in school. Here at Cal Poly Pomona we encourage students to live on campus and get involved by offering a number of affordable housing options. For example, students can live in our three-story, Residence Halls (Bldgs. 20, 21, 22, 23, 57, and 58) and enjoy a free membership to Fitness Express, a state-of-the-art fitness center located directly in the Housing Services office. Each of the halls feature kitchenettes, lounges, study areas, laundry rooms, as well as a recreational area with barbecues, a swimming pool, and basketball and volleyball courts. Each of the double- or triple-occupancy rooms in the residence halls offer: satellite TV service with around 50 channels, high speed Ethernet connection to the internet as well as Wi-Fi (added in 2014), and much more. The halls are open throughout the academic year, September-June, and summer as well. Room and board for the year is approximately $11,000. With roughly 1,400 students living in the Halls and another 1,000 in the Suites, University Housing Services employs a team of live-in staff. Residence Life Coordinators are full-time professionals responsible for management of their community. Resident Advisors are paraprofessional student staff that receives ongoing training to assist and advise students. If you would like to see room, stop inside building 59 to book a housing tour with them.

17. Los Olivos (Bldg. 70): Los Olivos is the main dining hall for students living in the Residence Halls and

Suites but is also open to the campus community and university guests. It is one of the top three college dining facilities in the nation for their menu, the dining hall features hot entrees, fresh deli sandwiches, a salad bar, home-style soups and stews, a grill, fresh baked goods, a waffle bar, and a self-serve coffee bar. Los Olivos is open to the public so enjoy a meal before, on, or after your tour!

Cross University Drive and enter the rose garden, feel free to sit and enjoy yourself in the gazebo

18. Rose Garden & Japanese Garden: This beautiful campus landmark, the W.K. Kellogg Commemorative Rose Garden, was originally an idea of Kellogg’s for his wife. He employed Charles Adams for the landscaping of the garden and chose the wheel design so that all of the featured flowers could be tended to with ease of access. The gazebo did not appear until the class of 1994 donated it to the school. The very first graduation ceremony was held in the rose garden, the idea of the brick pathways was to create a tradition among students so that a natural part of graduating and leaving Cal Poly Pomona would be to leave their legacy in the brick

walk. There are seven walkways that come off of the gazebo with brick plazas at the top of each long walkway. Each plaza is dedicated to a particular group such as alumni bricks, retired and current staff and faculty members; and the Kellogg family descendants. Proceeds from these brick sales go to scholarships for current students. As you walk back to building 98, you will see the George and Sakaye Aratani Japanese Garden, which fosters an appreciation of nature and Japanese culture. It features traditional Japanese flora and creates a small slice of peaceful paradise in the midst of the campus.

Other Points of Interest AGRIscapes (Bldg. 211): This 40-acre research, education and demonstration center promotes agricultural and environmental understanding through cool displays, touch-screen computer presentations and movies. AGRIscapes is home to Cal Poly Pomona’s Farm Store and Nursery, which focuses on selling California products, along with several products grown/produced on our campus. If you get a chance stop by, they are open seven days a week from 10am-6pm (we recommend a bottle of their fresh orange juice!). Aside from that, AGRIscapes displays their focus on research, education and demonstrations of alternative methods to grow food, conserve water, reduce energy needs and recycle agricultural and urban waste. BioTrek (Bldg. 4A) Developed out of concern for today’s threat to plant and animal species and the viability of the biosphere, this education-based project serves college students and reaches out to K-12 students and other community members. The 107,000 square foot complex has an aquatic learning center, rainforest and labs for biotechnology research, education and enterprise. This is the facility that we keep our Caiman alligator in too! Center for Community Service Learning (Bldg. 1) Service-learning is a pedagogy that provides students with structured opportunities to learn, develop, and reflect through active participation and thoughtfully organized community involvement. It enhances the academic experience of students by relating academic content and course objectives to issues in the community. John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, #209 The John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies is an interdisciplinary university-based setting for education, demonstration, and research in regenerative and sustainable systems. Students from all disciplines on campus can participate in courses and community of 20 residents live on the site working with regenerative systems as part of their daily lives. The term “regenerative” has been chosen to emphasize the intention of design to restore natural systems, not merely sustain them, while integrating the needs of the human community. The comprehensive design of the 16-acre site provides a living laboratory for people to study passive solar designed buildings, solar and wind energy captures, water recycling, nutrient cycling, food growing systems, aquaculture ponds, and native walnut woodlands and human communities. All of these have implication for human society. Lectures and labs focus on integrated systems, emphasizing the critical relationships between community building, energy, water, shelter, food production, waste and other essential functions while determining appropriate levels of human intervention in the environment.

Motor Development Clinic Cal Poly Pomona’s Motor Development Clinic was established in 1979 to fulfill the needs of children in the local community who have some type of movement difficulty. The clinic has three main goals in providing its services: to provide movement therapy for children between the ages of five and thirteen who are experiencing movement problems; to provide parents with the concepts and materials that will supplement clinical experience at home; and to provide practical experience in working with children for Cal Poly Pomona students who wish to enhance their teaching abilities with meaningful, practical activities. Today, the Motor Development Clinic at Cal Poly Pomona is the largest program in the area for children experiencing movement problems. The summer program allows the children to experience a variety of movement experiences in a realistic adapted physical education setting. During the school year, the emphasis is on the improvement of individual motor skills and on the enhancement of the children’s’ behavior within the movement setting. Parents, school districts or other interested parties can simply write or phone the Motor Development Clinic for an application form, (909) 869-4030. New clients are welcomed each Summer Quarter. NASA Commercialization Center The Commercialization Center, developed in partnership with NASA, assists companies commercializing a product, when NASA funds the technology development. The NASA and Cal Poly Pomona partnership led to NCC piloting the first chapter of a program specifically for small technology companies that have received funding through its Small Business Innovative Research Program (SBIR). NASA is now rolling the program out nationally. The NASA Commercialization Center is part of a larger program called AccelTech that helps early stage companies attain and accelerate growth.

W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center (Bldg. 29) The W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center hosts the Sunday Arabian Horse Shows, our oldest campus tradition that was first started by W.K. Kellogg in 1926. Public performances are given on the first Sunday of the month, October through May, at 2 pm. The program, featuring the Arabian as an English, western, stock, and jumping horse, is planned and produced by students working with horses they have trained. The intention of these horse shows is to promote interest in the Arabian breed and demonstrate the horse’s versatility, beauty, and intelligence, as well as to offer valuable experience for students in handling horses. The Kellogg Ranch has long been one of the world’s outstanding Arabian horse breeding farms, and the university continues the breeding program today, perpetuating the Arabian and making valuable blood lines available to the public. The Arabian horse breeding program is the oldest in the United States and the fifth largest in the country. More than 70% of the domestic Arabian bloodstock in this country can trace its lineage to the original Kellogg breeding program. W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Library (Bldg. 15—First Floor) The W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Library is a collection of Arabian horse materials located on the first floor of the library right next to Starbucks. The collection mainly consists of books and periodicals, both current and out-of-print, dealing with the Arabian horse. It also serves as a research facility for university students and personnel as well as interested persons outside the academic community.
