About GREEN House

What is GREEN House?

GREEN House is a special interest residential community located in the North Campus fraternity quad. To the surprise of many residents, the building's name is actually an acronym for "Group Residence for Environmental Engagement at Northwestern." There are about 40 residents in the residential community who take interest in promoting environmental sustainability and awareness. Residents from a variety of majors and interests find their niche in GREEN House because all are welcome to join!

​

We share the building (2303 Sheridan) with CCS, the Residential College of Cultural and Community StudiesGREEN House lives on the first floor, the south side of the third floor (all-gender), and both sides of the fourth floor.
