Dr. Papendick and his IET 361 class

Central Michigan students have built 15 benches for the Art Reach Chair Affair. Dr. Alan Papendick assigned the project to his IET 361 Construction Technology class. He divided the class into groups of three, each responsible for three benches.

The bench had been designed and all the wooden parts cut by the Industrial Engineering and Technology Club. Members include Barrie Glostlin. Patrick Meyer, Ryan Lewis, and Jayson Raymond.

Chairs will be painted by local artists and students in time for the Chair Affair. They will be on display in downtown Mt. Pleasant from June 20 through July 23. Be sure to stop at Art Reach on Broadway, 111 East Broadway to bid on your favorite chair or bench.
