A brief description of the themed housing:

In 2010, Oberlin opened the Robert L. Kahn Hall, a first-year sustainability-themed residence hall. Residents run an in-hall composting program, have extensive real-time resource use monitoring, and host talks, events, and films on sustainability. Burton Hall hosts an additional sustainability-themed wing. The Student Experiment in Ecological Design (SEED) House is a village house with extensive real-time resource use monitoring and sustainable retrofits.
