How does Veridian Village fit into Hampshires Sustainable Campus Plan?
This community forms part of the campus master plan that Hampshire prepared in 2003 with input from all parts of the college and from its neighbors. The plans for Veridian Village are closely linked with the plans for the Atkins Village Center, the Cultural Village at Hampshire, Applewood and Upper Orchard, and the colleges main campus. Veridian Village will advance the colleges innovative educational program by creating new opportunities for lifelong and intergenerational learning. It will also serve to enhance and strengthen Hampshire as an institution and as a community. And by following principles of sustainable design, this project will demonstrate how development can coexist with environmental stewardship.
