There will be an open house and barbecue at the Sustainable Village Tuesday, March 26 from 3 - 6 p.m. The Sustainable Village began with the idea of bringing sustainable housing to the UAF campus.A student design competition was held in the fall of 2011. In the spring of 2012, construction on the village started; several students involved with the design process continued their contributions to the project as workers on the construction site. Four, four-bedroom units were completed in August in time for the the fall semester in 2012. It was a successful semester at the village and continues this spring.
