On Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m., the Claremont Architectural Commission will meet to discuss the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) campus housing project. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber at City Hall, which is located at 207 N. Harvard Ave.
In signing this petition, we support the KGI campus housing project and we encourage the Architectural Commission to approve the development at the meeting on December 14.
The campus housing project will raise the quality of life and the level of academics for KGI students. It will also feature environmentally-friendly aspects, including LEED certification, walkable communities and lower water consumption. Additional parking will accommodate the project and future KGI growth without impacting surrounding neighborhoods.
Additionally, the project will promote revitalization of the area south of the railroad tracks while serving as a catalyst for future growth of the Indian Hill corridor.
The development will support KGI's mission, which is to enrich society with breakthrough approaches to education and translational research in the life sciences.
The KGI School of Applied Life Sciences is dedicated to education and research aimed at translating into practice the power and potential of the life sciences for the benefit of society. The School of Pharmacy is dedicated to the education of innovative pharmacists who will serve the needs of individual patients, the healthcare system, and the bioscience industry.
KGI emphasizes interprofessional collaboration, systematic problem solving, the
safe, efficient, and ethical use of technology and biotechnology, and
personalized patient care.

Housing is tight in Claremont for KGI students. This project will provide housing close to where our students study, will minimize car traffic, and boost use of Village facilities. It will make a tremendous difference in KGI's ability to recruit top graduate students. Thanks for your consideration.
As a resident of Claremont and as someone who works at KGI, I can see first hand the benefits of adding this state of the art facility. This is much needed to support our diverse and growing student population.
As a KGI alum that was an international student, the lack of affordable on-campus housing was and still is a major problem for the growing population of international students at KGI. This will not only improve the quality of life for the students but help boost the local economy in Claremont.
Being a current student at KGI, the student housing project would benefit the community and the hundreds of students who come from both out of state and out of the country in securing safe, convenient, and reliable housing during their academic tenure at KGI.
I commute from Irvine, daily. I would have appreciated the opportunity to live on campus and be a part of the Claremont community during my two years at KGI. This project will allow future students like myself to enjoy a safer and more productive couple of years at KGI.
An important project for KGI and the city of Claremont
Go KGI!

Providing housing for current KGI students would enhance the program by leaps and bounds. Moving to Claremont was one of the most difficult challenges when enrolling at KGI. Please build this housing to support the KGI students.
