About the House Project
From foundation to frame, Lehigh Career & Technical Institute (LCTI) students built the newest house on Rising Sun Road in Schnecksville. Students representing nine sending school districts and eight instructional labs — carpentry, cabinetmaking, plumbing, electrical, masonry, painting and decorating, landscaping/environmental design, heating/air condition and refrigeration, and the adult heavy equipment lab — have worked together for several years to complete LCTI’s 32nd student-built house.
As the school year ends, students are working on the final stages of the custom-built, 2,314 sq. ft. “age- in-place” ranch home. As the school year comes to a close, students are adding the finishing touches, and soon, LCTI will be looking for homeowners for 2822 Rising Sun Road.
