Description

Sttudents will apply their understanding of construction and Occupational Health & Safety Issues in the construction on campus of Simon Scally's Love Shack (Darwin).It is envisaged that under the leadership of a project manager the students will work in agreed teams to assemble and then construct the Love Shack. The construction will take some time and the timetable for which will be determined by the respective teams. It is envisaged therefore that the final erection will be in the last week of the mid year break.

The desired outcomes are: an application of construction knowledge, an understanding of the importance of team work in any project, appreciation of common building materials their jointing and fitting and the pleasure in the completion of a Love Shack which is for Sydney and client-based on Simon Scally's in Darwin.
