Harvey Mudd College - Facilities

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

The best thing that can be said about HMC’s facilities is that resources are shared with the other 5C. The Scripps pool is definitely a great place to chill, and Claremont McKenna College has a great gym if you enjoy a solid workout. The Linde Activities center at Mudd has a workout center, basketball court, pool table, ping pong table, movies to check out, and even a massage chair. So students need not travel far for recreational activities.

The biggest downside concerning Mudd’s facilities is their aesthetic appeal, or lack thereof. HMC certainly doesn’t have the prettiest campus around. The facilities are practical, first and foremost. If you want pretty fountains and flowers, you can wander around Scripps (it’s a good place to go sunbathing). The labs and libraries are exceptional, especially Honnold/Mudd Library, which has about two million books for your browsing convenience. If you’re a workout junkie, CMC’s Ducey gym has the best workout center, including an indoor rock-climbing wall. Overall, if you can’t find what you’re looking for at Mudd, you most certainly will at one of the other 5C campuses.

Mudd loves to spend money on... Mudd loves to spend money on student facilities. We've got a really great study lounge with ridiculously comfortable couches and a free coffee machine. There's also the Activities Center where you can play pool, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, and watch TV. It has a gym with all the basic machines. If you are looking for a larger gym, the other four Claremont Colleges allow us use of their facilities as well. 12345 Facilities: February 28, 2009 Report

Facts

Did You Know?

Take quick tour around campus and you will surely notice the “warty-ness” of the buildings. Every building, with the exception of Olin, is decorated by warts, blocks of cement popping out of the building. Most commonly, these warts line the column beams. It has become a tradition to call Warty the Wart as the unofficial mascot of the Harvey Mudd.
