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, including name(s) and descriptions of theme(s):
Farm House provides a place for students interested in the politics and culture of food production and sustainability. The house brings together students who care about where their food comes from and how it got to their plates in a space where they can discuss ways to help Wesleyan strive for responsible food attainment and distribution practices and plan programs to increase student awareness of these issues.
Earth House supports student residents in experimentation and education with regards to environmentalism. Students living in Earth House strive to achieve sustainability in all realms of life and practice an environmentally conscious lifestyle, working to honor and celebrate the interdependence between humans and the natural world.
Out House serves as a base for the Wesleyan Outing Club. It brings together students who share a strong interest in the outdoors and allows them to share that enthusiasm with others.
Green Hall is a residential space for first year students interested in and committed to an environmentally-conscious lifestyle. Green Hall sponsors sustainability themed programs and projects and provides its residents with the opportunity to collectively practice sustainable living and to make connections with the environmental community at Wesleyan.
