CHINATI APPRENTICESHIP

 

“The cohort, made up of women from Marfa, Alpine and Fort Davis, was starting off their fourth day in a six-week program. The previous day, the group made a total of 146 adobe bricks using traditional processes. In addition to gaining hands-on construction experience, apprentices are also attending talks hosted by adobe experts and taking field trips to area sites, like the Ruidosa Church.”

VOLUNTEER fIRE STATION

“The new extension — a simple metal structure — doubles the fire station’s vehicle capacity and contains an ADA-accessible bathroom with a shower and a laundry room. The ADA-accessible bathroom will prove useful should the fire station ever need to serve as an emergency shelter or warming center, and the laundry room will allow volunteer firefighters to wash personal protective equipment at the station as opposed to taking it home. “
