韦伯州立建筑设计项目激发了毕业生对未来的重新设计

OGDEN, Utah — When Abigail Trejo began looking into 新葡京app State University’s Building Design & Construction program, she didn’t realize she already had a special connection to it.

In 2019, Trejo and her family were recipients of a home built by Habitat for Humanity of 新葡京app and Davis Counties — a home that students and faculty from 新葡京app State’s construction program had spent the last year working on.

“I didn't know that they were working on it,” she said. “I didn’t know that I was going into a program that does similar projects, so it's pretty cool.”

虽然她花了很长时间才确定了韦伯州立大学的专业，但她发现建筑设计正合她的胃口。 当她还是个孩子的时候，她喜欢画房子的平面图。

“My family comes from a very poor background. We started off with a trailer home and I remember drawing the footprint of our home and drawing everyone's room,” she said. “I’ve always been a very visual learner.”

She’s enjoyed the hands-on aspect of building design and watching projects come to life outside the classroom. As part of her senior project, she’s working on a redesign of the Youth Futures shelter in Ogden and recently created a 3D rendering of the building.

“You're learning so much as you go and I feel like it's never-ending,” she said. “I really liked that, because I like challenging myself.”

特雷霍发现自己非常喜欢改造项目，把旧的平面图拿来，为空间想出新的用途。

“I like to make it as simple as possible, creating a blank canvas so that the owner can project their ideas onto what I’m trying to achieve,” she said. “It’s working together to make one piece.”

As a first-generation student, Trejo wasn’t always sure if college was the right choice for her. Now, she has two associate’s 新葡京apps under her belt and will 新葡京app with her bachelor’s this month.

“新葡京app was just my stepping stone. I didn’t know if I was going to stay here or not, or if I was going to find what I was looking for,” she said. “But fortunately, I did.”
