DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Today is an exciting day for Studio V! We've finished our work in the shop constructing all of the pieces for the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall, and today we start building on site. The columns were the last pieces for us to finish up, and so after we bring them out onto site we'll [...]
Since being back from break its been hard to get back into the swing of things. Although Monday and Tuesday this week felt relatively slow, somehow we have blinked and it is already at the end of the week. Despite this slow feeling, we've hit the ground running and hopped back into where we left [...]
Today marks the first day back in studio from Spring Break last week. The week before break we made a lot of progress on the donor wall for the Old Towne Creek project. We managed to get all three walls framed and walled with MDO within about a week of studio time. We did have [...]

I have enjoyed seeing how things worked and didn't work in the shop drawings that [...]
Today, our studio crew continued to work on assembling the wall addition at Old Towne Creek. We made sure to split ourselves up by task to ensure the work was done in the most efficient manner possible. We started the day by unloading wood planks from Professor Pastre’s pick-up truck and bringing them into the [...]
With our Plymouth Park Design Drawings awaiting review from structural, Studio V has been working hard down in the shop on the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall this weekend. We have been sanding, routing, and staining like crazy, but are making great progress. Today we about finished the large front beam, we finished staining all [...]
There's two things you should know about me. I love Jesus, and I love coffee. I'll always be down to go grab a cup of coffee, especially if it means we get to check out a new shop! I was born and raised in Charleston, so over the years I've had a chance to try [...]
