Adirondack Educational Center’s Building Trades Program

SARANAC LAKE — Students in the Adirondack Educational Center’s Building Trades program are putting the final touches on a project they’ve been working on for two years: a “tiny house” they hope will soon become someone’s home.

Juniors and seniors in the Board of Cooperative Educational Services program from Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Lake Placid and Long Lake, led by their teacher Clarence Brockway, have been cutting wood boards, metal sheets and vinyl siding; running electric wires and plumbing lines; and installing windows, doors and heating on a 280-square-foot house on wheels. They’re learning skilled trades, teamwork and life lessons along the way.
