Panel Discussion: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) from Concept to Completion
The AIA East Bay will be hosting a moderated discussion of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) for the benefit of a public audience including homeowners and other interested parties. This event is open to all – so come with your questions and learn how you can design, build, and use ADUs!
ADUs are a second living unit added to an existing single-family property. ADUs can be behind, attached to, inside of, above, or below an existing home. Since ADUs do not require you to buy a new plot of land, they can be relatively affordable way to create a new home. When done right, an ADU can fit seamlessly into the surrounding neighborhood while providing invaluable housing that is flexible enough to serve your needs and the needs of others!

It will be a highly interactive event will feature extensive Q&A from the audience. Everyone Must Register In Advance as we expect a sell out of this popular event.
