Pomona College President Gabrielle Starr confirmed in an announcement last month that the college’s Board of Trustees approved a $125 million investment plan for the Center for Global Engagement (CGE), the facility that will replace Oldenborg Center for Modern Languages and International Relations, a residential complex and dining hall where students learn and practice foreign languages.
College officials said they will adjust for the temporary decrease in housing after Oldenborg is demolished and before the CGE is completed.
“After more than 60 years, the Oldenborg Center was beginning to show its age, and could not be meaningfully renovated given the methods used in its construction,” Jeff Roth, Vice President Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer of Pomona College wrote in an email to TSL. “The building would not be able to sustain the interactions, engagements, learning experiences and programming, for coming generations.”
