Eden Hall

Eden Hall is a beacon of innovation and a warm, friendly place that Falk School graduates describe as “coming home to.” It is a living laboratory and an active community—and a few other things, too.

A Showcase for Sustainable Solutions

Eden Hall is a nearly 400-acre academic community dedicated to sustainable living and the modeling of sustainable approaches to: energy, water and soil, food and agriculture, and air quality and climate.

A Collaborative, Hands-on Learning Environment

Home to Chatham’s Falk School of Sustainability & Environment, Eden Hall is where undergraduate and graduate students work side-by-side with professors on research and practice initiatives that utilize the campus (and beyond) as a hands-on lab to complement their classroom learning.

A Place to Transform Our Approach to Food

Sustainable approaches to food—planning, growing, preparing, marketing, and eating—are the epicenter of Eden Hall. Students and faculty pursue projects that resonate with them even as they meet sustainability needs. 

An Inspiration for the Region

Eden Hall inspires the larger region with sustainable practices and ideals through community-based workshops, arts and culture programming, green weddings and events, and acres of accessible woodlands and trails.
