Rural Studio in Newbern will hold a ribbon cutting on Jan. 24 for their CLT Core House.Â
The program in Hale County is part of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture of Auburn University (AU). It was designed and built by AU students in 2025.Â
According to Rural Studio's website, the CLT Core House was made with an emphasis on affordable housing, as well as durability and construction speed.Â
Those interested in attending are asked to arrive at Rural Studio headquarters (Morrisette House) at 8448 AL HWY 61 in Newbern by 10:45 a.m. to follow the caravan to the CLT Core House where the ribbon cutting will take place at 11 a.m.
Newbern also serves as a demonstration site for a Rural Studio septic improvement project that is hoped to address wastewater issues in the Black Belt.Â
