NH CHRONICLE - HIGHLIGHTS STUDENT BUILT SMALL HOME!
HUOT TECH CENTER - Laconia - It's been two years in the making but the Huot Tech's Building and Plumbing students are putting the finishing touches on the small 384SF modular home! Due to the pandemic and remote learning in 2020, the project was delayed by a year. WMUR's news correspondent, Sean McDonald and crew stopped by to watch the students in action and talk with them about what they have learned and how their new skills will shape their future plans.
This is the fourth small home built by the students under the direction of LRBRA. This is the first build of its kind - not a tiny house on wheels but an actual home that will be set onto a foundation. The new home has been sold and should be delivered in July.
The Huot Tech Center Building and Plumbing programs includes students from seven area high schools. They are certified in OSHA 10, and other skills needed to set them up for success when going directly into the workforce!
