DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As the semester is coming to an end and we all head back home for the summer, a few of us got some great news. We have the opportunity to continue working on Crop Stop 2 in Greenville! So we're taking a week or two off as a break and its back to work. The [...]
I just said awesome! Upon completing final Documentation tomorrow Studio V and our time at the CAC.C will be complete! It has been a long ride but an unforgettable experience. Not only have I learned about practicing architecture, a new construction method that I never thought possible [Sim]ply, or the process [...]
There couldn't have been better timing. Right as the semester is winding down and finals are taking place, we are reminded of all of our hard work over this semester, and it couldn't have happened on a more perfect day. Yesterday was Studio V's final presentation of the work that we have done throughout the [...]
Our semester has come to an end! We are now in Clemson and ready to work for the weekend! We have finished packing all the pieces and transported them to Clemson and Greenville.

We are making sure everything in Charleston is good to go before we head to Clemson for five days to help with the Solar Decathlon build. Before we head out of town, we are correcting the construction documents with the comments from the engineer, as well as creating cut files for the pieces that need [...]
After multiple preliminary red lines from our professors and others around the project, we have finally got our construction documents to level that we need to send them to the engineer.
