HS Students Build Modular Homes via The Daily Business News of Manufactured and Modular Housing Industry News

Fosters reports from Somersworth, New Hampshire students at Somersworth High School and Career Technical Center are putting the finishing touches on a 1,500 square foot modular home that will likely go to a local needy family. Many of the 30 modular homes built over the years have gone to non-profits, including four that shipped to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Construction on the current home began in the school shop in Feb. 2012 with 35 students working in 2 one-and-a-half hour classes each day to build the home. Director of the career center Bette Chamberlain says, “We’re fortunate to have a large facility where we can do most of the work. It gives students the whole experience of what goes into building a house.” MHProNews has learned the students next project is a shed for a food pantry, and then another modular home.
