![]() It’s been great to see and feel that sense of community.”Įlder and Bingham have learned how to exactly build and construct every part of a house, both have now become experts in each area of home construction with the help of SUU professors and local businessman. ![]() “We have received donations from businesses and many people have come to the site to give their expertise on how to install a toilet or weld a trailer. ![]() “It has amazed me the help given with this project,” said Murray. Donations have been given from local lumberyards, Home Depot and metal manufacturers to stay within the $15,000 budget. These students have seen help from fellow engineering students to Glen Longhurst, department chair of the Department of Integrated Engineering, and even Robert Eves, dean of the College of Science & Engineering, and who helped raise the home’s four walls. When it comes to constructing a tiny house, it takes a village to erect its walls and raise its roof, especially for Elder and Bingham who are manufacturing an entire home in miniature sized quarters. ![]() ![]() “These students may only be working with 160 square feet, but they are dealing with every part of the home, from plumbing to siding, these students are doing it all,” stated John Murray, professor of integrated engineering and the project supervisor. Wade is part of a growing movement that is serious about smaller, simpler, debt-free ways of living.Īnd she found a way to build a foundation to a simpler life through SUU integrated engineering students, Erin Elder and Ryan Bingham, who have taken Wade on as a client building her first home, mortgage and debt free in only 160 square feet for their senior capstone project. Most people can’t deem it possible to live in a 160-square foot home, but for self-declared vagabond Heather Wade, Southern Utah University exercise science alumna, it will soon be a reality. ![]()
