Students tour new GHS fieldhouse

11/27/2013

Recently the Building Trades class toured the Russell Construction jobsite next to GHS. The students got a chance to hear from the project manager to learn about the project. They saw the plans for the project and saw the importance of being thorough in the design of a project. The kids learned about staging to ensure that there was always work being done. The project manager also talked to them about opportunities for employment in the future. They met workers on site that had gone to college and trade schools. This was a great opportunity for the students to learn more about the construction field, particularly in an area other than residential construction.

Later  that same day the Drafting/CAD students visited the worksite of the new Field House also. Students learned how important accurate blueprint are to the different skills trades. Lee Marbach, Project Manager, told the students that many of today's skills tradesman will be retiring soon and there are fewer people that is qualify to take their place. Students were advise to do an internship during college to get real world experiences to become a better designer.
