Yes
None
A brief description of the model room:
In August of 2013, Sustainable UMass, Residential Life, and Admissions partnered to establish the model green room in Knowlton 112 in the Northeast Residence Area. This room is also the model room that is used for all campus tours so thousands of families and potential students see this room each year. This project was originally proposed by a student in a Resource Economics class who wanted to help the University achieve a higher STARS score and build awareness amongst the student body for how to live greener on campus. The proposal was approved by the Residential Life Director in May of 2013 and opened in August.
