One of the most outstanding is the student-built house. This student-designed and constructed house was located behind the technical education build- ing. This house, as part of the two-year Learn- ing for Earning program, was originally designed by construction major Andrew Talamontes and later rearranged by Jack Marceau. There were nearly 200 students working on this project from a wide variety of classes, includ- ing Agriculture and Landscaping, Architectural and Design, Construction Management, Estima- ting, Interior Decorating.

Many of the modern conven- iences included wall-to-wall carpeting, two bath- rooms, family room, and forced air heating.
