Kirsten Carrier, assistant dean of campus life and director of residence life and Lucy Sneader, graduate apprentice for the Global Neighborhood, presented at the North Carolina Housing Officers (NCHO) conference on “Tiny House Living: The EcoVillage LLC at Loy Farm”.
Participants learned about the EcoVillage LLC at Loy Farm proposal process and how the LLC integrates with the existing farm and academic initiatives on site. Presenters also offered learning moments, bumps in the road, and reflections on the EcoVillage’s first two years as a community. Participants also gained insights on how to potentially kickstart a conversation on tiny house partnerships at their institution.
The EcoVillage will be available for sophomores through seniors to select during Housing Selection coming up in February for returning students for the 2026-27 academic year.
