Composting Toilets

Our Philosophy

Building green is more than just building; it’s the whole process. Design, construction, and materials must all be considered. Recycling, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and resource conservation were [incorporated into] the renewed Harris Center because we care about our heritage, we care about our people, and we care about our planet.

— Dave Birchenough, Chair of the Building Renovation Committee

All standard (flushing) toilets at the Harris Center have been replaced with composting toilets — waterless, odorless systems that utilize aerobic bacteria to transform human waste into a rich, well-stabilized mulch. These systems require no water for flushing, thereby conserving both water and electricity.
