Eden Hall Campus
Chatham's Eden Hall Campus is way more than a 388-acre plot of land. It's the embodiment of a commitment Chatham makes everyday to support sustainability and environmental education. In fact, it will be home to Chatham's School of Sustainability and the Environment and function as a living and learning laboratory, where the campus just doesn't house classrooms, but is the classroom. It's where a blend of knowledge, experience, and creativity is always working, persistently developing, and constantly improving. And it's where all efforts are focused on attaining the greatest social, economic, and environmental impact through greatly limiting our ecological impact.
Eden Hall Campus will be the first in the world built from the ground up for the study of sustainable living, learning, and development. Using the latest in environmentally responsible technology, design and innovation, Eden Hall will be self-sustaining in every way by producing zero carbon emissions and more energy than it consumes. It will one day serve more than 1,500 students (on-campus and online) with programs in the fields of sustainability, health sciences, business, and more. As an internationally recognized leader in sustainability, Chatham University is bringing big thinking to life at Eden Hall Campus beginning fall 2013.
