When the time came to replace the outdated paint booth in the state-of-the-art Auto Collision Technology lab in the high school, Facilities and Grounds Supervisor Robert Walker saw the opportunity for OHP students to once again receive hands-on training and real-world experience. Walker approached the Construction Trades Masonry class about handling the giant hole that would be in the wall of the Auto Collision Lab once the paint booth was removed and the new one, funded by the Sloan Trust, was installed.
Students were given the opportunity to utilize their training and get to work on the project by placing bids to Mr. Walker. Students had to estimate costs and project time and Mr. Walker selected the student whose bid was best. Senior Brandon McCoy was selected and took over the project, including interviewing and selecting crew members, meeting with state inspectors and architects and working with Mr. Walker on planning. McCoy explains exactly what the project is all about, what other projects Masonry students are working on and what he hopes to accomplish in the future in this video:
