Sustainability-Themed Housing

The Office of Sustainability manages two Special Interest Houses that bring together students with similar sustainability interests to help build an inclusive environmental community on campus.

The goal of these houses are to create a space which:

• Brings people with similar interests together in a living environment
• Provides an opportunity for residents to learn new ways to live sustainably alongside their housemates
• Fosters the environmental community on campus
• Encourages cooperation between the various environmentally focused groups on campus

About The Hive

This sustainability-themed, 6-person suite is located in Hillside Apartments. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all invited to live in The Hive. As a special interest house, The Hive's goal is to create a community of students interested in sustainable living and issues surrounding sustainability.
