Claremont Colleges Complete Their New Construction Projects
Okay, so the world-famous Claremont Colleges have completed Phase 1 of their building projects. The reason they are doing this is that they are seeking LEED certification - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
LEED is a four-tier system ranking for high performance green building by the U.S. Green Building Council. (Really, I never knew we had a council like this!) I do know that the City of Fontana has all new homes being built with solar power, but I digress. The completion of Phase 1 indicates a GOLD ranking, the highest available at the time this all started. Phase 2, which is scheduled to be completed in 2013 will make them qualified to achieve the Platinum ranking which is now the highest ranking available.
If you are not familiar with the colleges, they are an elite group of higher learning colleges on par with the likes of Harvard, etc. The list of schools includes Harvey Mudd, Pomona College, Claremont College, Pitzer College, Scripps College, Keck Graduate Institution and Claremont McKenna College.
Not only that, but Claremont is a wonderful town to live in with an amazing old town area which has been expended and upgraded. Amazing restaurants, some of which date back to when I was a child, and new ones which I'm sure will be around for my grandchildren to enjoy. But more about that in another blog.
As always, if you are thinking of moving into this area, contact me for any questions regarding real estate or if you are interested in buying or selling. I will be honored to assist you.
