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?:
Yes

A brief description of the themed housing:

Old Dominion University has a wealth of diverse student populations with a multitude of different interests, majors, and desires. As we strive to create a residential experience that offers students the opportunity to experience university-life with a smaller group of students who share similar majors, cultures, or interests, Housing & Residence Life offers Special Interest Housing.

Special Interest/Theme Housing is a student-driven initiative that allows a group of students with a common interest area to request Housing & Residence Life to set aside a particular floor section, building, or area in one of our residential communities for their particular group. Groups do not have to be a registered student organization, just a group of students with a shared vision of how they can have a positive impact at ODU and the overall residential experience.

Residence Life encourages a themed housing community focusing on sustainability as a way to benefit ODU students and have them share their passion.
