The white oak decking was delivered to the Environmental Systems Laboratory. We have begun the tedious task of cladding the framing we constructed over the past few weeks.

Unfortunately, the homes are often so cozy that the drill bits decide not to vacate... This prolongs the already lengthy process.

The Virginia Tech design/buildLAB is a Project Based Experiential Learning program focused on the research, development and implementation of innovative construction methods and architectural designs. Students collaborate with local communities and industry experts to conceive and realize built architecture projects that are both educational and charitable in nature. The blog is run by design/buildLAB students who are designing and building a fieldhouse for the Clifton Forge Little League.
