TV news channels feature house built by UO students

Eugene TV stations gave favorable airplay during finals week to the second student-designed and -built house that will be featured in the annual Lane County Tour of Homes. Both KMTR and KEZI covered the story. The students are part of Oregon BILDS, a series of three classes offered each year. Nearly 90 UO students in architecture, interior architecture, and landscape architecture, plus a handful of construction technology students from Lane Community College, participated in the program this year. Buyers who earn 80 percent or less of the county’s median family income are eligible to purchase the completed home, which will be priced in the $175,000 range. BILDS is an acronym for Building Integrated Livable Designs Sustainably.
