Abstract

The University of Nebraska’s College of Engineering in partnership with Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans is developing a HUD community design program for New Orleans. The program is in the process of developing rehabilitation strategies for 10 houses and documenting the process for future replication. Final drawings for reconstructing 10 houses will also be provided. The difference between the rehabilitation and the reconstruction process are defined. The most significant program contribution will be 10 new final construction designs with 10 variations that can be replicated for a number of sites. Each design and/or strategy will respond to environmental elements as well as sustainability issues. The critical key to the ultimate success of this reconstruction project lies in community involvement, appropriate design fit, and user acceptance. The project includes venues to gain feedback and support from the impacted parties.
