Eco House

Whether you’re an environmental activist, an outdoor adventurer, or simply a nature lover, you’ll find a warm and welcoming community at Ecology House.

The nearly 100 residents of Eco House have a variety of majors and backgrounds, but all share an interest in preserving and protecting our natural environment.  Residents are dedicated to sustainable practices like recycling, composting, organic gardening, and energy conservation, and organize environmental-education outreach programs such as the annual Mission: Wolf event.

Lots of social opportunities also exist at Eco House, like regular hiking and camping trips, a Halloween Hayride, a recycled-clothing fashion show, and frequent house dinners and movie nights.  Another unique perk at Eco House: residents may keep certain types of pets (in cages or aquariums) if registered with the house.

Community features:

• 96 residents
• Located on North Campus off of Triphammer Road, near Robert Purcell Community Center
• Double rooms arranged on a central hall
• TV room; large social lounge with pool table, foosball, and ping pong; piano; lobby with sitting and meeting areas; laundry; kitchen with pantry storage; and a study lounge
