Chatham University to Close Its One-Of-A-Kind Residence Hall
This is how marketing officials at Chatham University described the student dormitory at Eden Hall, the university’s fully sustainable campus in Richland. “It’s unlike any other residence hall in the region, maybe the world. When students arrive at Orchard Hall every August, the rolling hills and lush woodlands envelop it in a green calm. In fall, the warm colors of autumn beckon them to explore the apple orchard and smell the dry leaves in the cool air. When the trees are mostly bare in the winter, it’s sometimes possible to look through the branches and see the skyline of the city kissing the horizon. The blossoms of spring inspire daydreams of the future.”
