Cloyne councilCloyne Court, the largest house in the organization and a registered historic landmark, is physically close to classes yet removed enough to offer respite from the hubbub of Berkeley. We offer the largest hot tub in the BSC, a new sauna, two TV rooms, a pool table, foosball, ping pong, a NeoGeo arcade system, a four square court, and the largest courtyard (complete with greenhouse and gazebo) of any house in the system. In addition, with the largest food budget in all of the BSC, the kitchen displays a wide variety of many amenities, and every meal offers a vegan, vegetarian, and meat option. Our widely muraled walls offer much for other houses to envy, and also display the creative talents, cooperative tradition, and positive history of our membership.

Old school Cloyne partyOur residents can be found reading and hanging out on comfy couches in the sunny “lib-ed” room, chatting and eating at the picnic tables in the courtyard, playing capoiera on the grass, doing yoga and tanning on the deck, hitting the books in the quiet and private study room in the west wing, developing photos in the darkroom, shooting hoops on our full length basketball court, or in the midst of an intense four square tournament.

With 151 residents, no matter what you are in to, you are bound to find others who share your hobbies and interests. Cloyne provides an opportunity for all who live here to become part of the largest cooperative community in the BSC, and call it their home sweet home.
