Yes
None
A brief description of the model room:
The student sustainability-themed house, Farmhouse, models sustainable living for all students on campus. All student living in the house strive for a low-energy and low-resource use lifestyle. Food, appliances, and electronics are shared communally and sustainable practices such as growing and composting food, dry clothes on the clothesline, and biking around town are practiced frequently. The rooms in the house also do not have individual mini-fridges and chargers are always plugged into power strips and unplugged to moderate electricity use. The house recently added a vermicultre system to demonstrate possibilities for small scale indoor composting.
None
