Does the institution have sustainability-themed housing (residential floor or hall, or theme house) where residents learn about sustainability together and to which residents must apply?:
A brief description of the themed housing:
The EcoResidence, which was built in 1998-99, can accommodate 100 students in apartment-style arrangements. The structure consists of duplexes, which are either 4½ or 6½ rooms in size, and was almost completely created out of recycled materials.
A Green Living-Learning Community was established in 2010-11 across 3 of the residences. All students living in these halls were surveyed upon their admission to Residence to see if they would like to participate, and interested students were placed in 'clusters' together in each building. They participate in green- or sustainability-themed events on a monthly or bi-monthly basis and are working together toward a project that will benefit all.
