Construction management students at Boise State University gained some real-world experience in completing a design-build project for the National Park Service at a former World War II Japanese-American internment camp that now is a national historic site in Jerome County, Idaho.

The pleased owner now may rehire the team for other possible facility projects at the former Minidoka "relocation center," whose quickly built structures once held up to 12,000 mostly U.S. citizens from 1942 to 1945.
