The second iteration of the UMass DesignBuild program is well underway! Twelve students, hailing from the UMass Department of Architecture, the UMass Building and Construction Technology Program, and the Five College Architectural Studies Program, have spent the spring semester designing a new small, dwelling unit. We’re partnering again with OneHolyoke Community Development Corporation to design and build a small house that will become part of their affordable housing options in Holyoke, MA. The students are spending the spring semester in design and will then transition to building over a 2-month long summer session.
