Class to build
eleven duplexes
Abel Garza, Instructor of the Residential Construction
Program, reported plans for an additional 11 apartment
duplexes on the southern edge of the campus, which will fill
a need for year-round campus housing.
The program is a 12-month project aimed at teaching the
basics in residential construction, from surveying the land to
finishing cabinet work.
Garza, who came to WTC in October of last year, said it
took he and his crew, consisting of 9 students, approximate-
ly 9 months to complete the more recent of the two units. He
expects the other units will be completed in a shorter time
period. Garza estimates the cost of building a unit
somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000. Construction
has begun on the third unit.
When asked about any problems encountered with con-
structing the unit, Garza said there were no specific major
problems. "You always have problems in construction,"
Garza said. Problems such as quality or availability of
materials, changes in plans, land problems in laying of foun-
dations, etc. are common. He said the second set of plans he
had received had some changes which could have caused
confusion in the construction.
When completed, the units must conform with the
building codes of the city of Snyder. The units are inspected
for any fault in plumbing, electricity, foundation and
frame, quality of materials, etc. to insure the safety of the
occupants.
The two units completed are presently occupied and house
eight students each. The rental of these units is $100 per
month per student. Full-year students are given rental
preference.
Students interested in acquiring residence in the apart-
ments can contact Kathy Chavez in the Registrar's office at
Ext. 213 for more information. -Lucy Herrera
