‘Just basic human dignity:’ Drury architecture students build new tiny house at Revive 66 Campground
“‘Without those things, how can anyone feel safe?’ Sooter said. ‘That’s just not asking for a whole lot. You know that’s just basic human dignity right there.’
In addition to designing the shelter, Sooter’s undergraduate students built the cabin with the assistance of professional contractors. She hopes the young adults gained practical skills along with the knowledge to design a building — and the experience of helping some of the least fortunate within Springfield’s community.
‘It’s a great experience for our students to be exposed to folks that are doing things like this and giving back to their community. So that’s one of the things that they’re learning not just architecture, but that human beings give back to our communities.'”
