The Ann Arbor Student Building Industry Program is a fantastic chance for students to learn the construction trade and learn important skills to help with that "honey-do" list years down the line!

The program began as the dream of representatives of the school system, local businesses, and banking representatives.  They believed that high school students could, with proper supervision and assistance, build a quality house.

The latest from the program is that their 39th home has been completed and is listed on the market! The 2008-09 student-built home was constructed at 2377 Earl Shaffer Court in Ann Arbor and is listed at $295,000. Proceeds from the sale will provide scholarships for students.

Builder Steve Lucchesi managed construction of the home, with Teachers guiding the 29 participating students through the project. The home was intended as an efficient "not so big" home, at 2,300 square feet and incorporating several energy- and water-efficient features.

The program has been active in the construction of homes since 1971 - details of homes constructed can be views online on their website, along with pictures!

This is definitely a great program!
