Alongside the commitment to the environment Hillside acknowledges and fosters the importance of building community. The open green space, community building, and botanical living space in the greenhouse, provide a place for Hillside residents to 

gather, play, eat, explore, and invite. Resilience is achieved by deeply integrated 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.
