The Greenbelt is an engaged living community that consists of the four cabins by the lake near the bell tower. The cabins collectively house 22 students and have been outfitted with various environmental friendly features including solar hot water panels, clotheslines, composters, porch decks overlooking the lake, among other amenities to help facilitate sustainable living.
The Greenbelt is intended to foster sustainable living and lifestyle choices among its residents and to provide a residential community for sustainability minded students to come together to live, learn, and develop sustainability leadership skills. This living learning community is designed to serve as an incubator for the training and development of sustainability student leaders on campus and in the surrounding Greenville community. Residents contribute to campus wide sustainability initiatives and facilitate and contribute to community action through service. The primary goal of this community is not only to promote sustainable living, but also to empower students to make a difference in sustainability initiatives at Furman and beyond.
