On a unique site within the Union Theological Seminary, Claremont Hall is positioned in a neighborhood of academic campuses and significant architecture. The building references the rich architectural details of the existing campus, which consists of grey schist stone with limestone detailing. The tower’s façade of blended grey brick is trimmed with limestone colored architectural pre-cast. The design of Claremont Hall was led by Sargent Gardiner, Paul Whalen, Ann O'Connell, Kley Salas, and Ian Lauer. To learn more about Claremont Hall and RAMSA | Robert A.M.
