[mit-habitat-exec] Campus Build

[Bryan Owens]

I've contacted the Boston Habitat Office, so hopefully we'll here from
them.  Anne raises a pretty good point of storage.  We can either
pursue this idea, and figure out storage if that's what we'd like to
do, or maybe try something else, but all that comes to mind is
birdhouses, and I don't think that's practical.
