34 The Charles R. Perry Construction Yard - Craft Awareness Dr. Jim Sullivan and Dr. Leon Wetherington have continued to utilize the Perry Yard to help demonstrate quality construction practices. The fall semester the program benefitted from support from various individuals, construction firms, and material suppliers to showcase the proper means to place work. In addition to ongoing contributions from Masonry Association of Florida (MAF), the Brick Industry Association, and Haskell Construction the students had the benefit of getting input and direction from the Cemex Group. Ms. Amanda Hult and Mr. Jeremy Howard of Cemex provided insights to pervious concrete procedures as well as batch plant operation and order delivery executions. Cemex also played a big part in the CMU lab sponsored by the MAF, Painter Masonry, and Allen Spear Construction. This fall’s lab consisted of precast lintels with vertical reinforcement being provided so student groups could experience building a block wall. Mr. Kurt Morauer from the Banner Center brought the Banner Mobile Training Center to campus to discuss craft skills training programs throughout the state. Dr. Edward Minchin invited Kiewit to demonstrate activities with heavy equipment.
