The Sustainability House is located approximately 4 miles from the St. Lawrence University campus on Highway 68 in Canton. The Sustainability House is utilized by SLU Students throughout the year with the Sustainability Program.
The house is located on 33.5 acres of land, leased to the University through Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE), complete with a garden, chickens, pigs & a large quonset hut. Converting the buildings and grounds into energy efficient, non-fossil fuel-reliant structures and gardens capable of feeding the residents, will be on-going projects planned and carried out by and with SLU students and community members as part of the experience of the Sustainability Program.
To foster a strong living and learning community, engage students in the theory and practice of sustainability through academic study and practical experience, expose students to the theory and practice of sustainability through diverse curricular and co-curricular opportunities, both on and off campus and to develop and maintain partnerships and collaborations with diverse community groups, organizations, and individuals to extend student learning beyond the campus community.
