For the second year, during the summer months, students at Durant High School helped build a house in Iowa City. The 2,500 square-foot home was built for Reach for Your Potential (RFYP) — an organization in Iowa City that provides an opportunity for adults with disabilities to experience supported community living. The 5-bedroom house is zero clearance for handicap accessibility. Kirkwood Community College has supported the home build program for high school and college students. High school students earn dual credit upon successful completion of the course. Students were able to see all aspects of the house building process, including design, framing, masonry, plumbing, electrical, roofing, windows, soffits and siding, and drywall. Students completed each aspect of the build process alongside highly skilled professionals. Students took a special field experience to Washington, Iowa to Engineered Building Design, where they were able to see and experience the process of wall construction. As the summer came to a close and students returned to their high school classes, the home project contractor took over to do the final touches. A couple of the Durant students were able to work with the project contractor, McCreedy and Ruth Construction, to hang interior doors, trim and kitchen cabinets. After having completed two homes, another home will be built next summer for the same organization. To celebrate the completion of the project, a ribbon cutting grand opening ceremony was held Oct. 11. Students, community members and several state legislators were there to participate. Residents who will live in the home moved in Oct. 15. Additionally, the television show “PowerHouse” by Alliant Energy (a PBS show), taped the entire building process, which will air this fall.
