For Chatham University, Mithun is designing multiple buildings, complete with interiors and landscape, for the new Eden Hall campus near Pittsburgh. Home to the university's School of Sustainability and Environment, the campus will include a residence lodge designed to be energy positive—generating more energy with geothermal wells, energy generating exercise equipment, and building photovoltaic systems than is needed for operation. Construction of this residence lodge will begin in 2013.

At Chatham University, an existing barn will be converted into a multipurpose lecture hall with an indoor/outdoor stage. A "Pittsburgh steel" support structure will be installed to augment the barn's existing wood superstructure. The remainder of the wood barn structure and siding is preserved on the interior.

Adjacent to a multipurpose lecture hall, a new EcoCenter will be constructed. All campus buildings are being designed by Mithun to a net-zero energy standard with individual buildings slated for LEED® platinum, Living Building, or Passive House certifications.
