Apollo

Welcome to the House of Apollo!

Voted the friendliest house in the SHC, we pride ourselves on our community and commitment to cooperative values. We spend a lot of time together as a house, watching movies, going on trips, holding craft nights, and making music. Our house is made of mostly singles and has a great member to bathroom ratio. We have multiple common spaces: a living room with a stage and projector, a large (recently remodeled) kitchen, a rec room with another projector and plenty of space for events, and a dining room where we have house meals twice a week. Outside we have a large deck and garden. Our house also has a lot of murals, and we encourage our members to paint their own! We like to spend time with co-opers from other houses, hosting open mic nights and the occasional get-together. Finally, we love welcoming new members and are open to all.

History

• The house at 236 Harrison was purchased in 2005 following the sale of the Atlantis Co-op on Bogue Street. Atlantis had been sold in anticipation of the City of East Lansing’s plan to exercise eminent domain for the Cedar Village area development project.
• The new group of members, some of them transplants from Atlantis and other co-op houses, named the house Avalon.
• In the Fall of 2012, the house was completely repopulated. The new members decided to rename the house, “House of Apollo,” in honor of the Apollo missions.
