USGBC IA | Prairie Hill Co-Housing LEED Celebration

Join us to see this unique, community-focused, sustainable, housing project. 14 years ago, a group of Iowa City residents launched the development of a co‐housing community: 37 eco‐friendly residences clustered around a common house and shared pedestrian‐only green space. Community gardens are located on the crest of the hill overlooking the shortgrass prairie, homes and orchard trees.

After many years of design and construction, the project is complete and the homes are LEED Certified. USGBC Iowa, in partnership with Prairie Hill CoHousing, is hosting tours of the community and houses followed by a panel to discuss LEED features (Approved for 1 GBCI LEED Specific CE & AIA continuing education credit).

Attendees are encouraged to stay for a reception to celebrate certification of 30 new LEED Homes.
