Affordable housing development for Hays County.
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Brennan Vollmar, Jayden Ayala, Bryan Lawrence, Paul Acosta
Faculty Instructor: Dr. Felipe Gutierrez
Our civil engineering team is developing and evaluating cost-effective alternatives to support affordable housing for 100 families in Hays County, Texas. The project addresses the gap between rising fair-market rent prices and the median income in the area by exploring site selection, construction methods, materials, and unit configurations that improve affordability. Designs are developed to maintain structural integrity while meeting applicable codes and engineering standards. Sponsored by the Ingram School of Engineering (ISOE), our work aims to provide practical, scalable solutions to a regional shortage of affordable housing.
