Volunteers Needed for a
Community Design-build Project

 
Every Saturday 04 May till 15 June 9:00 AM till 3:00 PM
At Thorndyke Elementary School in Tukwila

We're building an Ecolab with children, staff, and parents at an elementary school with a large immigrant population near Seatac Airport. The project, which is an outgrowth of the 2000 Annual Design Charrette, involves installing a paved area that represents five continents and the bodies of water connecting those continents, and erecting a pavilion where children can study their "world."
We need help digging and framing out the trench that will accept the pavers, and pouring concrete footings for the pavilion. If you are up for some hard labor any Saturday 04 May till 15 June, please email Dr. Sharon E. Sutton, FAIA <sesut@u.washington.edu>.
