Chatham University Plans First Sustainable Campus
|
|
Chatham University this week launched a highly innovative, multi-year Master Plan to develop Eden Hall Campus in Richland Township, Pa, the first university campus in the nation to integrate sustainable development, living and learning.
Eden Hall Campus will be home to Chatham’s pioneering new School of Sustainability and the Environment – the second freestanding university school of sustainability in the United States.
Located on a 388-acre site north of the University’s historic Shadyside Campus, the new campus will feature innovative climate positive buildings and landscape design; sustainability education and research will be incorporated into all facets of campus life.
The Master Plan was developed by Berkebile Nelson Immenschuh McDowell of Kansas City, Mo. and landscape design firm Andropogon Associates of Philadelphia.
“Eden Hall Campus and the School of Sustainability and the Environment are at the leading edge of a global movement toward a sustainable future,” says Esther Barazzone, Ph.D., Chatham University president. “Together, the school and the campus will be a one-of-a-kind living laboratory, advancing understanding and progress as we seek sustainable answers to the world’s social, economic and environmental concerns.”
The complete plan is available online.
