The Birdhouse Project<\/strong> was completed by students enrolled during Spring 2019 in Professor Hugh Crawford’s course, LMC 3308, Environmental Ecocriticism. Assisting Professor Crawford were Building Memories<\/strong> intern, Yonatan Weinberg, and graduate student Udaya Lakshmi. Partners for the course were Professor Jacqueline Jones Royster, the coordinator of Building Memories<\/strong>, and Ms. Christi Jackson, Director of the Conservancy at Historic Washington Park<\/strong>. Funding for the project was provided by the Serve-Learn-Sustain Program<\/strong> at Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n

With each of the buildings, the goals were for the students: to build a birdhouse; research the community importance of the building; research the birds that might occupy the birdhouse and the environments in which they live; produce a podcast; and create an interactive display to be installed in Historic Washington Park. The class also created a website to capture and present the work that they did in the course.<\/p>\n
