Amherst Co., VA - Some students at Sweet Briar (web) College moved into a new state of the art facility Saturday. Green Village is an eco-friendly building worth $3.5 million. The building holds 60 students and each unit is about 1,600 square feet. Almost everything inside is green -- the roof, appliances, windows and even showers and toilets. Besides the new building, students can't wait to start school on Friday.

Kelsey Smith, Junior Sweet Briar -- "I'm excited. My first year I was really anxious but this year I've been counting down to get back, I'm really excited to get back."

The last time a new student housing facility was built on Sweet Briar's campus was more than 50 years ago.
