Alongside a commitment to the environment, Hillside acknowledges and fosters the importance of building community. With open green space, the community building, and greenhouses, Hillside residents are provided the space to gather, play, eat, explore, and invite.

Resilience is achieved by deeply integrating networks of elements, or people, that rely on one another. Hillside's campus design hosts community space as a centric piece to encourage resident interaction and camaraderie.
