Precedent:Temp Live|Work housing from the '50's, still in use



       This modular design was intended as temp housing for the construction workers during the development of UMass-Amherst.  More than fifty years later, Puffton Village is still in use as  one of the primary off-campus housing locations for students. 
   
       This project is innovative in that the University hired a trailer company to establish an affordable modular system.  While these units would be considered inefficient by todays standards, their organizational system is still relevant today. 
    
 By attempting to reimagine a more efficient, resourceful living space today, such modular proportions are important to consider.
