Under the guidance of Construction teacher John Lloyd, the new storefront will feature dedicated sections for plumbing, electrical, framing, and HVAC, giving students a well-rounded introduction to key trades within the building industry. This setup mirrors actual job sites, providing students with valuable, practical learning experiences that will prepare them for future careers.
