Students focused on installing the exterior stained wood cladding, polycarbonate windows and skylights, and the sliding barn door. Students experienced small unexpected design detailing challenges while onsite. For instance, to prevent water from entering the interior, students had to figure out how to flash the polycarbonate away from it. While maintaining the original design and the structural integrity of the building, the students overcame this challenge and offered spontaneous solutions.

Sixteen undergraduate students spent three days over the summer participating in the Camp Winston Design Build project supervised by associate professor Vincent Hui, where two teams of students across years collaborated alongside camp staff. Students were divided into multiple stations, constantly switching between measuring, cutting, painting, and framing. This ensured that the students had an equal opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and experiences acquired during this design-build.

Students inspected their design using augmented reality to ensure the dimensions and materiality of the structure were correct before cutting materials, leading to minimal waste. Augmented reality aided the students in understanding the proposed design, assembly, and detailing in its entirety before stepping onto a site and on-site.
