A Journey to Build the First Affordable Living Buildings
In this presentation, members of the Community Rebuilds team will discuss the lengthy process
of converting the former intern bunkhouse into the first affordable living building-certified residences. This conversation will include the overview of the LBC certification criteria, our exhaustive materials salvage & reuse following the demolition of the bunkhouse, the current state of the performance period tracking, an anecdote about our recently completed art wall, a retrospective on the human resources necessary to complete the challenge of LBC certification, and the future impacts of LBC certification on housing in Moab and Utah at large.
Relevance: This overview will help people gain understanding into how this undertaking affected us, how much work went into it, and what our takeaways are.
