I recently represented Meyer Design, Inc. in a design/build competition for Carpenters and Architects Training Together (CATT). Students from CHAD & Mercy Vocational High Schools were partnered with a professional architect and general contractor to design and build a “partition." Meyer Design, Inc. was paired with Gilbane Building Company and we guided the design of a computer desk with adjustable shelving and a study area for Mercy Vocational High School in North Philadelphia. We mentored seven students from Mercy throughout the month & a half long design process, which culminated in the building of the “partition” on Friday May 6th, 2011. The seven Mercy students along with the six Carpenters Apprentices were given seven hours to construct the design using only raw materials from a list prepared for the competition and $200.00 of money for any additional materials needed. It was a great event and all four of the groups competing were pleased with their finished products. Check out the video to see a video recap of the day!
