As shown on this month’s cover, building with wall panels makes any location possible, including out in the boondocks. We may have to get creative, but we can get there! [For photos, See PDF or View in Full Issue.]

These wall panels have been delivered to Kresge College at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Founded in 1971, Kresge College has always encouraged a strong sense of community and their current renovation project is no exception. Three new residence halls are being constructed in this wooded location. Each standing six stories high, the lower-level floors are for mechanical equipment. The second floor of each building will be general use space for its residents, including such things as lounges, kitchens, laundry. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floor of each building are residential space.
