Abstract
OregonBILDS is a unique service-learning program that offers students the
opportunity to collaborate and manage the design and construction of an
affordable and environmentally responsible single-family house. Based in the
Department of Architecture at the University of Oregon (UO), OregonBILDS serves students at both
UO and Lane Community College (LCC).
The project-based learning program takes place within one academic year,
and major development tasks are tied closely to the curriculum. Working
under the supervision of faculty, students will design the house and apply for
permits in the fall. During this time they will also develop a construction
schedule and budget. Construction starts in the winter and continues into the
summer. This document presents a draft business plan for OregonBILDs—a service learning
program that is proposed within the School of Architecture and
Allied Arts at the University of Oregon (UO). The business plan was
developed in close collaboration with the principals of the program. It is
intended to provide a framework for development of the program—including
organizational options, preliminary budget estimates, and an action plan for
the first five years of the program.
