Timbered Benches for the Student Commons: Service Learning Project
Course Overview
By summer of 2012, the North House campus will be a transformed place, with an outdoor student commons area, an improved entrance, and new parking areas. There's lots of work to be done, but once the dust has settled, we will need a place to sit and contemplate our new digs. That's where you come in. In this service learning class, you will build rustic benches for the outdoor space. This class is a great introduction to the basic techniques used in traditional timber framing. Students will have the opportunity to try out professional-grade timber framing tools, as well as learn to use a variety of traditional hand tools. Leave a legacy on the North House campus. Your tuition includes lunch each day.
