Educators at theChateauguay Valley Career Education Centre(CECVC) in Ormstown, QC wanted to offer their students something beyond the standard skills they would get from most schools, so instead of building small sheds or wall sections that would be later disassembled, they decided to build an actual house. Beyond that, they wanted it to hit the highest possible level ofLEED certification(Platinum), and finally - give it to a family in need through the charityHabitat for Humanity.
如果这一切还不够具有挑战性，那么再加上魁北克省的工会法律禁止学生在实际的建筑工地工作。因此，它必须在学校以模块化设计预制，然后用卡车运送到最终位置。
The video below is the final episode in a series that documented the entire process, starting with concept and design, through all the construction steps, and finally the delivery and installation. We were honoured to be part of this project and hope that this inspires similar projects at other schools in the future.
Below is a small sampling of images (courtesy of JHCarpentry) that can be found onthe blog of teacher John Hodgeswho documented the project from its inception. And here isepisode 1 of the video series, back 4 years ago when this was only going to take 1 year :).
An untold amount of hurdles presented themselves along the way, so congratulations to the entire team at the CVCEC for the vision, determination and patience that was needed to bring this project to fruition.
