ecoREHAB Students to Present Designs for Rehabilitated Homes

You are invited to see final presentations for the "ecoREHAB" architecture class: Friday, May 1, 1:30-4:00 p.m. in the City Hall auditorium.

ecoREHAB is a new non-profit organization to demonstrate affordable & sustainable rehabilitation of existing homes. "ecoREHAB" will partner with the city, Ball State University, and Historic Landmarks Foundation to rehab houses and to create a Design Assistance Center for homeowners.

Already, Jonathan Spodek is teaching an architecture studio which revolves around ecoREHAB. The students have field measured a dozen homes from our unsafe buildings, drawn plans and elevations and assessed existing conditions. On Friday they will present designs for the rehab of these homes.

ecoREHAB has been awarded a grant from Community Development to rehab one of these homes as an initial demonstration project. It has also become part of BSU's "Immersive Learning" program.

Please come for all or part of the presentations and see what the students have come up with, and give them feedback. Bring anyone else who may have an interest.
