This project will be taking place at [[Humboldt State University]]’s [[Campus Center for Appropriate Technology]] (CCAT) as part of the Appropriate Technology (ENGR 305) class. Our team, Under One Roof, will be working with the center's three co-directors to retrofit the roof over the [[CCAT Earth Oven]] and the [[CCAT rocket mass cobb bench heater]] in their outdoor kitchen. As you can see in the first two photos, the existing roof is made up of two parts. One is the living roof, which seems to have been made in 2006.

The other part of the roof does not seem to have an Appropedia page, but seems to be a wooden frame with corrugated metal sheeting . | This project will be taking place at [[Humboldt State University]]’s [[Campus Center for Appropriate Technology]] (CCAT) as part of the Appropriate Technology (ENGR 305) class in Spring 2020.

The objective of this project is to make a long-lasting and well-designed roof to protect the cobb oven and bench, as well as to provide a demonstration of green building and the potential of appropriate technology to teaching future students and community members. The goal is to create incentive to make the outdoor kitchen at CCAT useable and enjoyable regardless of weather and to ensure that the current projects in the outdoor kitchen last as long as possible. | |||

Background
This project will be taking place at Humboldt State University’s Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT) as part of the Appropriate Technology (ENGR 305) class in Spring 2020. Our team, Under One Roof, will be working with the center's three co-directors to retrofit the roof over the CCAT Earth Oven and the CCAT rocket mass cobb bench heater in their outdoor kitchen. As you can see in the first two photos, the existing roof is made up of two parts. One is the living roof, which seems to have been made in 2006. Learn more about that project here. The other part of the roof does not seem to have an Appropedia page, but seems to be a wooden frame with corrugated metal sheeting. We have about 12 weeks to design, prototype, and complete this project, starting the first week of February 2020.
Problem statement
The objective of this project is to make a long-lasting and well-designed roof to protect the cobb oven and bench, as well as to provide a demonstration of green building and the potential of appropriate technology to teaching future students and community members. The goal is to create incentive to make the outdoor kitchen at CCAT useable and enjoyable regardless of weather and to ensure that the current projects in the outdoor kitchen last as long as possible.
