On Thursday, April 30, 2026, the Roxbury High School community gathered to celebrate a monumental achievement: the completion of the third student-built home produced by the Structural Design & Fabrication (SDF) program. The event honored graduating seniors, recognized top student craftsmen, and provided the public a first look at the home before it moves to its permanent location.
The project, a partnership with Greater Middlesex and Morris Habitat for Humanity, has transformed the high school parking lot into a high-intensity job site over the past two years. Next week, the home will begin its journey through the streets of Roxbury to its permanent foundation at 402 West Dewey Avenue, where it will provide affordable housing for a local family.
