Educational Excursions Green Building Adventure

A select group of students will participate in this exciting green building project. Students will meet once a week for twelve weeks, and during that time, they will research various building techniques, alternative energy, materials, and more. They will then use their new knowledge to design the new office space!

Students will have cretive freedom when designing the new structure. However, they will have to include several components:

The structure will be primarily constructed from reused, recycled, or donated materials
The building will occupy the same footprint of the trailer that currently occupies the property (but that will be removed prior to the start of construction). It will be multi-storied and will incorporate a green roof in the design.
The building will not be connected to the grid or the county water system. Methods of generating electricity will be utilized, as well as rain water collection and grey water treatment.

A variety of professionals will serve as mentors to the students throughout the designing and building process. Two contractors have agreed to serve as the primary advisors throughout the project, and additional guest speakers will assist. Included in the list of individuals who have expressed an interest in speaking with the students are an electrician, a plumber, and the Director of Planning and Development for Pickens County (who is responsible for permitting and building codes).

Students will be required to contribute a minimum of 20 hours to assist with the construction of the green building. And they will receive community service credit for the time spent helping!

Are you interested in participating in the Green Building Adventure! If so, please e-mail us at info@eduexcursions.org to receive additional information.

We will also be looking for additional assistants to help with the construction process. Let us know if you're interested!

We are currently seeking sponsorship and donated usable materials.
Please help support this exciting project!

Several businesses have already offered their assistance. A page will soon be added thanking them for their generosity. Help us and we'll add you to our list of supporters. Don't be left out!
