Green Roofed Shed Construction @ Filbert St. Garden: Summer 2010

For almost two years now the Building Trades Program has been collaborating with the Filbert Street Community Garden here in Curtis Bay, Baltimore. 

This was our first collaboration.

Prior to the actual shed build the students learned about the "house envelope": how contemporary construction methods contend with the elements. They also learned about runoff and how green roofs are a useful tool to help lessen it's effects.

Here are just a few pictures of the students learning to use re-purposed doors as shed siding and recycled doors as...well, doors.
