Home 20 Almost There!
KACC's 20th Home Near Completion
Construction Technology Instructors Jeff Umphrey and Doug Enz, along with a great group of students, are fast approaching the final stages of building KACC's 20th Home!
The newest edition to the list of homes built by our students is located at 1972 Springpark Loop in Bourbonnais. Springpark Loop is located in Prairie Chase subdivision. The home, listed with Specman Realty, Inc.'s agent Lisa Sanford, is about ready for flooring, cabinets and the other final touches which turn a house into a home.
Cutting-edge building technology, beginning with the basement wall installation process (R-12.5 and totally damp-proofed) has offered our students a remarkable opportunity to learn many facets of construction technology. Students are allowed to study the process, learn to complete the mathematical calculations necessary for design, supplies, etc., and complete mock trials in our wood shop prior to going to the home-site for actual installation.
These young men and women are truely on the work-site, bussed to and from the building site be it rain or shine, hot or cold temperatures. This is the real deal and certainly supports our goal to Prepare Students for Tomorrow.
