Nichols Court is named for longtime LIHI Board President Melinda Nichols and her husband, artist Clifford Nichols. Melinda is a founder of LIHI's Tiny House Program and has been instrumental in developing LIHI's partnerships with carpentry and construction apprenticeship programs that provide hands-on educational opportunities for students. The students build tiny houses and get to see them placed in villages to provide shelter to unhoused people. LIHI operate 15 villages in the region. Clifford is a Native American artist who creates stunning carved boxes, silk scarves and rattles which he donates to LIHI’s gala auction. We are grateful for their service to LIHI and proud to name this building after them.
The Architect is Runberg Architecture Group. The Contractor is Walsh Construction Co.
