WABI (Channel 5 in Bangor) reported on a new outdoor classroom at the Hirundo Wildlife Refuge that students from the University of Maine’s Construction Engineering Technology (CET) program helped build. Will Barry, a senior who worked on the project, said that the classroom was constructed in roughly 10 weeks. “It was not a one-person job. It wouldn’t have come together without everybody working. And hey, we can be proud of this, for sure,” Barry said. WABI interviewed another senior who worked on the project, Sydney Gamage. “I grew up outside, so I fully encourage people to be outside,” Gamage said. “I’m also a real construction nerd. So I really, really enjoy doing this project just in general because nonprofits, kids and people in the community are going to actually benefit from this.” WMTW (Channel 8 in Portland) shared the WABI story.
