State-of-the-art is the best way to describe the latest home built by the students in the Columbia Basin Student Homebuilder Program.
The fourth home built by the program’s students had its open house today from 1 to 6 p.m. Located at 898 S.W. Angus Court near Armand Larive Middle School, the 2,194-square-foot home is all about energy efficiency right up to the electric car charger in the garage installed by Umatilla Electric Cooperative.
For the fourth-straight year, a new home has gone up near the middle school, built by students in the Hermiston School District’s homebuilder program. The program is sponsored by the Northeast Oregon Homebuilders Association in partnership with the school district and the city of Hermiston. The program gives students – who also come from Stanfield and Umatilla – hands-on experience in the design, construction, oversight and marketing of a home.
