Chapter 84: Clean Hub Roll Out! *transformer sound*

Here's the diagrams that Studio 4284 developed featured in a former post for some reference... I also just want to say that John Dwyer, Tom Westbrook, and the entire studio did an amazing job putting this studio together and really rocking it all semester. They are hopefully doing a time lapse video of deployment this week sometime and I'll link to the Solutions website which I hope will be hosting a feature. They also got a bit of press on Minnesota Public Radio. Check out this article and don't miss the audio interview!

For the next month, the design will be refined, tested and presented to various NGO’s, investors and other humanitarian agencies. After that, early in June, it will be shipped to its final site in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans where it will serve as infrastructure for an ethnobotanical garden.

I am hoping to be there when it gets delivered in early June... so, without further adieu, I give you Clean Hub.

Here are some pictures of the Clean Hub deployment from the other day courtesy of one of my favorite undergrads Sandra Wahba taken unceremoniously from her Facebook site.
