Near Westside Initiative
July 29, 2009

Seven Syracuse University architect students are here in Syracuse this summer to add onto the house they built earlier this month. On July 9th, a prefabricated home built by the students was placed on Tully street in the Syracuse Community.

Hilary Munsar is a fourth year architect student who's been heavily involved in the housing project, and she expresses their efforts to work towards "going green" by creating sustainable options for the house.

The Near Westside Initiative
mission is to become a catalyst between Syracuse University and the community, and the School of Architecture has started doing their part with the building of this home. Munsar says the collaboration between the two has made it beneficial for both parties.
