In collaboration with RaleighForward and CITYBUILDER, WakeUP Wake County hosted an ADU Accelerator Program Professional Training and tour of five ADUs.

During the morning’s training, experts shared practical lessons from completed ADU projects, as well as detailed information on zoning and permitting, site planning, construction logistics, sustainability strategies, and common challenges. Our speakers included: Trent Mollison, Senior Planner, City of Raleigh Zoning Team/Land Division; Aaron Lubeck and Jenn Truman, The Rocket Shop; and Joel Lubell, Armature Design Build. A self-paced ADU Sustainability Tour was held that afternoon, and five accessory dwelling units of different types (attached, detached, and internal) were open to the public. Square footage of the units ranged from 300–1,200+ sq. ft. Visit our website for more details!
