Iowa State ASCE Service Trip
Civil Design Advantage had the honor of sponsoring the student chapter of ASCE at Iowa State University on a service trip to help serve those in need. 10 members of the group traveled to Tahlequah, Oklahoma to help rebuild a house started by Habitat for Humanity. During their time, they worked to finish the roof, install doors, windows, and insulation. In addition they hung most of the siding, trim and soffit for the home. CDA was proud to help support this group of individuals.
CDA was honored to be a part of the Brio of Johnston groundbreaking. Brio of Johnston is a new independent living community for individuals 55 and older located in Johnston, Iowa. For more information on Brio of Johnston, click here.
