DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As we approach Thanksgiving we are all very eager to get on site and get started. On Wednesday we finally got a good taste of working on site. Our rebar was delivered at Singleton Park so we got a group to go out there and start cutting and bending them into loops according to our [...]
As we come back from Fall Break we've hit some snags on our pavilion project: waiting for permits. Now even though we can't yet break ground that doesn't mean we twiddle our thumbs waiting for something to get done. On our first day back we had some crews put together some more sheets for permitting [...]

Before we all set into our final stretch for the presentations, we [...]

Our crew started out at Waterfront Park where Professor Maher gave us some backstory on the expansion of the peninsula over the years. We talked about potential flood zones and how [...]

We were tasked to touch up the handrails on the Forest Park bridge project by sanding it and applying a coat of varnish.
