Eden Hall Campus

Eden Hall Campus is more than Chatham’s campus outside of the City of Pittsburgh. It’s a beacon of innovation and a warm, friendly place that Falk School graduates describe “coming home to.” A living laboratory and an active community. A few other things, too.

A Showcase for Sustainable Solutions

Eden Hall Campus 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, eating—are an epicenter of Eden Hall Campus. Students and faculty pursue projects which resonate with them even as they meet sustainability needs.

An Inspiration for the Region

Eden Hall serves as an inspiration for sustainable practices and ideals to the larger region through community-based workshops, K-12 partnerships, arts & culture programming, green weddings and events, and acres of accessible woodlands and trails.

A Gathering Place for Community

Frankie Williams, a Masters of Food Studies student, is the fire master for the Eden Hall bread oven. The bread oven was a thesis project by MAFS alum Shauna Kearns, who wrote a successful grant for this project. "My favorite memories and times in my life," Frankie said, "have been centered around food for as long as I can remember. Food brings people together."
