The traditional undergraduate college at Chalon is our oldest and largest program and the academic foundation that allows us to expand into new program areas and reach new populations. Blessed with an idyllic location and a distinguished history that dates back to 1925, an investment in the Chalon Campus in West Los Angeles will prepare the Mount for the future, allowing us to better deliver the high quality educational experience that has transformed the lives of so many women.

Renovate Residence Halls and Establish a New Campus Center
Living on campus and social interaction with peers and faculty have a significant impact on grades, degree completion, graduation with honors, and enrollment in graduate or professional school. The residence halls that house more than 400 students will be updated and a new Campus Center will be created. Together these projects will transform the Chalon Campus into a vibrant learning community and improve recruitment and retention.

Create New Science and
Research Facilities
MSMC has a remarkable record of preparing first-generation, minority women for careers as medical doctors and research scientists—fields in which they are typically underrepresented. However, science is changing, with emerging fields based on new technologies. An investment in science and research facilities will support the infrastructure for the interdisciplinary research and training that is the future of scientific discovery.

Update Instructional Facilities
and Technology
The Humanities Building includes 20 classrooms that are the home of the undergraduate academic program. From basic comfort to advanced technology, the classrooms will be renovated to create the most effective learning environment possible. Other instructional facility updates include the Chalon theater and a new nursing skills lab that will provide state-of-the-art training for the undergraduate nursing program.

Restore and Renew Mary Chapel
Built in 1939, Mary Chapel on the Chalon Campus is in need of a comprehensive restoration. An aesthetic, technological, and physical renovation will renew Mary Chapel as a spiritual center for sacred celebration and prayer. Both symbolically and artistically, the design plan will incorporate core elements of the Mount's history and tradition.
