EHS Students Build an Education in Architecture

EHS students in Scott Didra's Architecture class are teaming up with the East Penn Community to construct a play house for the EHS Childcare Development classes.  The house began as a design project in Mr. Didra's class during the 2010-11 school year.  

The design, by student Chris Pearsall, was chosen as the basis for the house to be built.

Last year's Architecture students started assembling the exterior of the house in the

Didra's current class is busy finishing the project. Vera Construction and Alside Supply Company have donated roofing materials and siding respectively towards the house's completion.

Upon its completion, the house will feature a chimney, a deck and a wheelchair ramp. The students are learning how to run electrical wire, install lighting and heating, drywall, and other techniques in creating the house. As a part of the class project, the students have also learned about the zoning & approvals process used in actual construction.

The class's current goal is to have the house completed in February.
