Future plans for displaced students:
Westmont is working diligently to find permanent on-campus housing for those students who were living in the Clark Halls complex and have had their rooms destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by the fire. One of Westmont's strengths is its residential campus, giving students the opportunity to interact and live in community. We are committed to minimizing this disruption and finding the best living solution for our students as quickly as possible.
Access to student rooms:
Students will eventually be allowed into their rooms once Westmont has determined it is safe to return to campus and enter the residence hall buildings. The campus must be out of further fire danger, and buildings must be cleared of smoke and deemed structurally safe for entry. If a student's room has been affected by fire, Westmont will determine if and when it is safe for a student or family members to attempt to retrieve personal belongings from any material left behind by the blaze.
