Phase I of our MAREC project is well underway.
Our partner nonprofit, the Imogen F. Wilson Education Foundation (IFWEF), owns and maintains the historic buildings at the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site, including the two rooms on the ground floor of the Wood House that is the focus of our GCAS rehabilitation project. In Phase I, our GCAS volunteers have joined forces with IFWEF volunteers to safely relocate the large number of educational and field school materials that had been stored throughout the Wood House. We have taken final measurements of the interior spaces allotted to each of our groups for rehab, and are prioritizing each group’s rehab activities in project schedules.
Phase II will soon follow, during which our volunteers will remove dilapidated ceiling and flooring material. This will allow us to inspect floor and ceiling joists, make necessary repairs, and prepare a fast and easy way for an electrician to update the Wood House’s entire electrical system.
