The Temple University Tiny House project is a student designed and student constructed sustainable<br />
building located at Temple Community Garden on main campus. Completed in spring 2017, the 175 square<br />
foot net-zero structure features a high performance thermal envelope construction, vegetated roof, rainwater<br />
harvesting, off-grid photovoltaic system, thermal energy collection system and a composting toilet. Since<br />
its inception in June 2014, the project has offered interdisciplinary learning opportunities for students<br />
and faculty. The Temple Tiny House serves as a food access programming space for the Temple Community<br />
Garden and a university sustainability demonstration project. The project is registered under the Living<br />
Building Challenge.<br />
Led by Architecture professor Robert Shuman, the 175 square foot net-zero Temple University Tiny House was constructed through an interdisciplinary summer<br />
seminar course. Photo credit: Temple University Office of Sustainability<br />
