Built through a partnership between Saint Paul College and the City of North St. Paul, this project gave 21 carpentry students and 19 cabinetmaking students the opportunity to gain real-world construction experience while helping create a new home for the community. Working alongside faculty and city partners, students transformed an empty lot into a completed twin home and a lasting source of pride.

Tour the completed twin home, meet the students, faculty, and community partners who helped bring it to life, and learn more about the partnership between Saint Paul College and the City of North St. Paul.

Along the way, you’ll see the results of eight months of learning, teamwork, craftsmanship, and workforce development in action.
