2007 TEXAS A&M SOLAR DECATHLON

Summary: This project took place during my time as an intern at the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems in Austin, TX. The award winning 2007 Solar Decathlon project was designed and built by students and faculty at Texas A&M University under the leadership of Pliny Fisk III. During my time at CMPBS, the structure was donated to the center, which meant moving the building from its then-location in San Antonio to CMPBS campus in Austin. CMPBS staff and interns acted as team leaders directing a crew of 10 Americorps volunteers through the projects' construction over a 3 month period. This series of photos illustrates the buildings preparation to be moved as a modular unit, sitework prep, and establishment on site.
