Cherry Creek Innovation Campus Students Complete Habitat for Humanity Home Build
Students from the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus (CCIC) Construction 2 program have built their first full modular home in partnership with Berthoud Habitat for Humanity—a milestone that blends hands-on learning, community impact, and career-ready skills. Join us for an Open House on November 6 to see their craftsmanship up close!
Construction began in October 2024, the 1,200-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modular home was built in two halves. The home will be craned onto a permanent foundation in Berthoud, Colorado. CCIC students completed all the work themselves – from site preparation and framing to electrical, plumbing, ductwork, finishes, cabinetry, and furnishings. The project represents an entire year of applied learning, teamwork, and craftmanship under real-world conditions.
The CCIC-built home will become the 26th and final home in Habitat’s 4th Street subdivision, marking the end of a 25-year community development effort. Two new Habitat neighborhoods are already planned for 2026, with future families eagerly awaiting their homes. Through partnerships like the one with CCIC, Habitat continues to make homeownership possible for families earning 40-80 percent of the area median income, ensuring that mortgage payments do not exceed 30 percent of gross monthly household income.
“We would like to thank the CCIC program for their partnership and all the students who made this possible,” said Laura Collins, Berthoud Habitat for Humanity Community Engagement Director. “The need for affordable housing in Berthoud is vast and urgent—but every nail, every wall raised, puts us one step closer to providing a family with a safe place to sleep at night.”
