Mission : The UM FLAT is an experiential live-in resource demonstrating sustainable and intelligent design principles.
The mission of the FLAT is to demonstrate appropriate technology in a residential setting, to provide hands-on experiential learning opportunities for the University of Montana and the surrounding community, to collect and disseminate information about appropriate technology, to examine the ethical and social consequences of technology, and to dispel the myth that living lightly on the earth is difficult or burdensome. The UM FLAT is dedicated to sustainability and seeks to help others live likewise.
