A 3d printed house is being built in Richmond
A revolutionary way to build homes is coming to Virginia that could be a potential solution to constructing more affordable houses.
You might have heard of a 3D printer making small, plastic items for doll furniture and models, but 3D printers can also make life-size projects including a 1,550-square-foot home planned for South Richmond.
The three-bedroom, two-bath home at 217 Carnation St., just off of Midlothian Turnpike, will be the first house in Virginia partially constructed using a 3D printer rather than lumber. Work begins this week and is slated to be completed in the fall.
Guiding the Post-Pandemic Recovery
There is a natural desire, born of uncertainty and anxiety, to see 2020 as an anomaly: a unique moment in time when an unprecedented global pandemic has forced us to radically alter our daily lives. What’s more, these events have opened another window into the disparities that exist in our communities from access to health care and education, to racial injustice.
As an organization whose mission is to change banking for good, Capital One is committed to harnessing our scale to invest in the communities we serve. In 2020, this has meant refocusing our efforts to address issues related to the pandemic from establishing our remote workforce, to creating a microsite with financial tips and working one-on-one with our customers to find solutions to address the financial hardships they are experiencing as a result of this moment.
