周杰伦的地方
Formerly The Little Pizza Place, 周杰伦的地方 was renovated in 2005 in remembrance of 松鸦 Wolkin ’99, who died in an airplane crash shortly before he was to graduate from Harvey Mudd. 松鸦, an engineering major and proctor of North Dorm, was a free-spirited person who lived life to the fullest.
The late-night eatery’s makeover—made possible in part by funds from Wolkin’s family—included an updated entrance, renovated pizza kitchen, a sub sandwich service area, 台球桌 and sunken seating area with wheelchair accessibility.
周杰伦的地方 serves pizza, 三明治, soft drinks and snacks, and offers its night-owl patrons music, 电影和台球.
Spring 2005 Dedication
(HMC杂志, 2005年春季)
The Pizza Place re-dedicated as “周杰伦的地方”
“There were really three things 松鸦 could not live without: cheese, 胶带和幽默,” said Andrea Leebron-Clay, mother of 松鸦 Wolkin ’99. “So, it was difficult when we were trying to decide how to remember a guy who lived so fully. Jon Strauss and the team here at HMC were amazing at helping us to transform what we felt and what we knew 松鸦 would really appreciate into a reality, and that’s 周杰伦的地方.”
Members of 松鸦’s family and the HMC community gathered March 3 to celebrate the grand opening of the renovated campus eatery, formerly known as The Little Pizza Place. The Clays contributed funds to renovate the venue in remembrance of Wolkin, who died in an airplane crash shortly before he was to graduate in 1999.
The makeover included an updated entrance, renovated pizza kitchen, an ice cream sandwich service area, 台球桌, dart boards and updated sunken seating area with wheelchair accessibility.
Former Vice President and Dean of 学生 Jeanne Noda said 周杰伦的地方 benefits all Claremont Colleges students and renews the longstanding HMC tradition of having the late night dining facility at The Claremont Colleges. The eatery serves pizza, 三明治, soft drinks and snacks until 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 2 a.m. 星期五和星期六, “and business is booming until closing when the last pizza comes out of the oven,野田说.
“On behalf of those of us who knew 松鸦,野田说, “I’d like to say this is truly a fitting memorial, a place of companionship and laughter. I can’t imagine anyplace better for 松鸦.”
