The author underestimated thecomplexity of the property management structure and the rigorous review process associatedwith the process. This delay affected the construction schedule, and the project needed to bebuilt elsewhere with site access.Before the construction, the author applied to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), whichfacilitates the ethical conduct of research and oversees research involving human subjects. TheIRB commented that the involvement of students with construction tools and the risk associatedwith such activities during the construction process would jeopardize the safety of the students.The board required
