ENS House

Located on campus at 16 Park Street, the house includes such features as compact fluorescent lighting; low-flow shower heads, faucets, and toilets; interior walls painted with nearly 100% post- consumer recycled paint; second-hand (re-used) furniture; a heavily insulated attic; high-efficiency appliances; recycling bins; a small library of environmental literature; a Mac and an IBM computer for resident and environmental studies student use; and three different composting systems. Residents have been a vital part of making some of the green improvements to the house and are always seeking new ways and new resources to continue its green evolution. Currently, we are trying to come up with a better name for the house than just "the ENS house." The best suggestion so far seems to be "The Slug Ranch," but we are still looking.
