Project Phase: Acquiring new projects

For the past few years, the local project team has been working with Lewisdale Elementary to design a patio and pergola for an outdoor learning space. The patio will provide a flat surface to place tables and chairs, and the pergola will provide shade and rain protection. The patio and pergola have been fully designed, and the team is currently in the process of acquiring a permit to build these with the goal of implementing them by the end of the Spring 2024 semester.

While the team is waiting for permits to go through, it has started looking for new local engineering projects and partnerships that it can help out with. If you know of or are interested in discussing potential small-scale engineering opportunities for the team to work on, please reach out to local project lead at the email above, and or contact the EWB-UMD president at presidentewbumcp@gmail.com.
