仁人家园与俄亥俄大学在校园里盖房：「山猫建造」模块住宅将送往罗斯县一个家庭
位于俄亥俄州雅典县的俄亥俄大学10月23日在校园西绿地的Parks Hall旁，正式启动与东南俄亥俄仁人家园（Habitat for Humanity of Southeast Ohio）合作的「山猫建造」（Bobcat Build）现场施工：一栋1,092平方英尺、三居室的住宅，将直接在校园里盖起来，再整体运往罗斯县，成为一个当地家庭的家。
这栋住宅按模块化方式建造，分成两部分在校园内施工。启动仪式当天中午举行，随后是下午1点到4点的开放志愿时段，并有一场象征性的竖墙仪式。整个秋季和春季学期，学生、教职员工和社区居民将并肩在校园里完成建造；春季房子运到罗斯县的永久地块上完成收尾，在交房日把钥匙交到这个家庭手中。
东南俄亥俄仁人家园执行主任Ken Oehlers说：「山猫建造展示了高等教育机构和社区组织围绕共同使命携手时能做到什么。把这栋房子盖在校园中心，让大学社区亲手参与解决本地区的住房难题，直接改变一个当地家庭的生活。」俄亥俄大学校长Lori Stewart Gonzalez说，这正是「山猫」精神最好的体现：学生、教职员工、校友和邻里一起，为一个本地家庭创造新机会，也回应本地区实实在在的需求。
校方社区影响中心临时执行主任Courtney Lefebvre说：「住房问题关系到我们每一个人。」有意参加后续志愿时段或支持这个项目的师生居民，可通过大学的山猫建造页面了解详情。
Habitat for Humanity and Ohio University Launch On-Campus 'Bobcat Build' for a Ross County Family
Ohio University, in Athens County, Ohio, and Habitat for Humanity of Southeast Ohio officially launched on-site construction of the "Bobcat Build" on October 23 at Parks Hall on the university's West Green: a 1,092-square-foot, three-bedroom home being built directly on campus, to be transported to its permanent site in Ross County for a local family.
The home is a modular build, constructed in two sections on campus. The launch featured a kickoff ceremony at noon, an open volunteer shift from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and a ceremonial wall raising. Throughout the fall and spring semesters, students, faculty, staff and community members will work side by side to complete the build. In the spring, the home will be transported to Ross County, finished on its permanent site, and the keys will be turned over to the family on dedication day.
"The Bobcat Build showcases what is possible when higher education and community organizations come together around a shared mission," said Ken Oehlers, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Southeast Ohio. "Constructing this home in the heart of campus gives the university community a hands-on opportunity to address regional housing challenges while directly transforming the life of a local family." Ohio University President Lori Stewart Gonzalez called the project "the best of who we are as Bobcats," saying students, faculty, staff, alumni and neighbors are helping create new opportunities for a local family while addressing an important regional need.
"Housing is an issue that impacts all of us," said Courtney Lefebvre, interim executive director of the university's Center for Community Impact. Details on upcoming volunteer shifts and ways to support the project are available through the university's Bobcat Build page.
