Timberbuilt is a design/build company specializing in custom timber-frame homes and structures. Students had the opportunity to meet with many members of the Timberbuilt staff, including the architectural team, engineers, and workshop workers who contribute to the company's success. They were given a hands-on look at how modern, energy-efficient timber-frame buildings are designed and constructed.

The final step in the Youth Voices, Holiday Choices initiative was recently completed by student and staff volunteers. The winning designs to deter driving under the influence were made into stickers and stuck to paper bags that will be used at Cheap Chollies Wine and Liquor in conjunction with National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The initiative, which was led by SADD and Above the Influence, resulted in compelling anti-DWI designs that were assessed by a judging panel of community leaders.
