Sleep in Heavenly Peace Bed Building Event
On April 6th several members joined the BSU WICED ladies to build beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace Non profit. https://shpbeds.org/
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Idaho and across the U.S., too many boys and girls go without a bed – or even a pillow – to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health.
That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in. They are a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. The organization has grown steadily over time, and are working on opening more chapters in different states to serve more people. NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN!®.

WIC Week Jobsite Tour
Boise “Power Tower” Jobsite Tour
March 3rd -March 9th 2024 celebrated Women in Construction Week around the Nation. The Boise Chapter of National Association of Women in Construction had several events throughout the week.
Wednesday March 6th NAWIC held a jobsite tour at the 12th & Idaho “Power Tower” thanks to the generosity of McAlvain Companies and Power Construction.
At 26 stories, 12th & Idaho will be the second tallest tower in Idaho and was inspired by Boise's Sawtooth Mountain Range. The 420,000 sf, 298-unit building offers 16,000 sf of amenities including a terraced deck, co-working lounge, gaming room, social lounge with pool deck and cabana seating, and a roof with fire pits, garden area, and a private standalone spa.
The ground floor includes 10,000 sf of retail and an enclosed parking garage with 400 parking spaces. The parking garage utilizes a fabric enclosure featuring a mountain-inspired graphic that allows for natural light and fresh airflow, reducing the need for fans and exhaust mitigation.
The event was well attended with ladies from several GC’s and Subcontractors around the valley. It was exciting to be up that high and see the work up close. We even were able to climb a ladder and get to the platform above the 26th Floor. The view of our city from the top is amazing.
