Evolutia Field Trip
The students recently took a field trip to both Evolutia’s material warehouse located on 35th ave North as well as their showcase room located in downtown Homewood http://evolutiamade.com/ . The students spent several hours touring the facility and learning about the process of reclaiming valuable materials for adaptive reuse projects. Materials included timber, steal, stone, and brick harvested both locally here in Birmingham as well as throughout Alabama and the Southeast. Starting at the warehouse, the students learned about various types of raw materials, methods of processing these materials, and deconstruction techniques. At the showroom they saw finished products ranging from benches to exterior wall claddings to countertops. A big thanks to our tour guide Robert who took time out of his day to show us around and teach us the value in harvesting materials.
