Coming Soon…A New Claremont Lobby
Beginning in April 2025, the Claremont entrance and lobby will be closed for a major renovation and beautification project.
The Lobby/Entrance area will be closed for approximately 6-8 months. A temporary entrance will be created on the Main Lounge level from the Abby O’ Neill patio to the Main Lounge west side doors near the Soros Room. During this time all residents, staff and guests will be required to utilize this location to enter and exit the facility. This location will be staffed 24/7 by our I-House Public Safety team.
For building deliveries, a temporary receiving location will be set up adjacent to the parking garage and will operate during the hours 7:00 am – 5:00 pm.
The Package Concierge System will be temporarily relocated to B-Level Bike Room, and the east elevators # 3 and # 4 will not service the A and B Levels during the construction period.
Construction activities will occur during the hours 9:00am – 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Key features and improvements that will be included in the renovation are:
- A new and relocated reception desk to enhance circulation and flow
- A larger seating and waiting area with a dedicated private restroom
- Larger exterior canopy and planters
- Double wide glass entry vestibule with improved security features
- Warm and welcoming environment with increased natural light
- Central air-conditioning, new ceiling, and improved lighting
- Alumni history area with I-House Merchandise display
- Curated artwork and storytelling moments
- Terrazzo flooring
- Dedicated receiving and delivery entrance
- Relocated trash and recycling area
