The Founders Room, located in Bauer North, is used for staff events and more formal student events. Seniors visit the Founders Room to turn in their theses, the capstone of their academic careers.

The adjoining sculpture garden features the busts of three key figures in the history of Claremont McKenna College — Donald McKenna, founding trustee for whom the College was named; George C.S. Benson, CMC's founding president; and Jack L. Stark '57, CMC's third president.
