Kathryn W. Davis Village

Description

The Kathryn W. Davis Village is COA’s “greenest” housing complex. The houses in the village are heated by a biomass pellet boiler system and are incredibly energy efficient. All six houses have a living room, kitchen, and dining area on the ground floor, replete with vibrant color schemes and comfy furniture. Upstairs, two floors house eight residents in large student rooms with communal bathrooms boasting composting toilets.

Surroundings

While individual houses have their own community, residents of the village have the advantage of being part of the larger communities of Seafox and Deering Common (the new campus center).

The houses are joined by additional social space open to the community: Millard House and Dority House are joined by the Cushman Media Center; Eno House and Hamill House by the Eliot (all-night) Study Space; and Milliken House and Shorey House by the Robinson Games Room which has both a pool table and the laundry facilities for the village.
