Chatham University's Eden Hall Campus (EHC), which is 25 miles north of the main campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will be home to the new School of Sustainability and the Environment, and a model sustainable living and learning community for the region and beyond. BNIM and Andropogon worked to align the vision of University stakeholders and plan a restorative campus that will enhance the regional environment, ensure the long-term financial success of the University, and create quality of life and learning for current and future students.

Chatham University aims to become an international leader in selected issues related to the environment and sustainability with the EHC. Academic programs will focus primarily on translating research into practice, and developing and demonstrating solutions to issues related to the environment and sustainability.

The farmland and woodlands on the EHC will be actively utilized to support Chatham University's academic and educational outreach programs, and will also be available for public education and research. The campus master plan includes plans for the restoration and adaptation of a number of historic farm buildings and the original homestead mansion, as well as plans for new academic and residential facilities for students and faculty while restoring the natural systems to become learning tools for the school and the larger community.

A deep ecological study of the land and its carrying capacity guided the planning and design process in determining the most appropriate solutions for EHC's waste water treatment, energy generation and production of a healthy food supply for Chatham. These solutions, in turn, will guide the University in the development of the multidisciplinary curricula that may be engaged at EHC to fully benefit their student population and the community at large.
