KU housing course offers start to finish build experience
KU students from architectural engineering, led by associate professor Clay Belcher, are building a $90,000 1,200 square foot home east of Lawrence at 2732 Ann Court to gain hands on insight into construction. Freshman David Mier calls it better than textbooks as peers handle financing, scheduling, and owner decisions while observing plumbers, electricians, and carpenters. Construction began in August and should finish in about a month with profits kept for KU's program. Trinity Development manages the project with Payless Cashways, Lithonia Lighting, Star Signs, Colorport, and University National Bank providing support.
