Gandia Block
Gene Honnette
At Fruition, we sow eggplant in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.
The Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) waste despite having excellent physical and mechanical properties is still largely unexplored besides presenting large volume of waste with very low degradability. The use of concrete block presents high resistance to compression, low price high masonry coating ratio by material weight, however high thermal conductivity. Therefore, the study aimed to produce and investigate the effect of adding GRFP residues to concrete blocks due to physical, mechanical and thermal properties. The compositions were made by replacing the fine gravel between 0 to 10% in mass by the GFRP residue. They were evaluated from physical, mechanical and thermal tests. The results showed that the use of GFRP residue did not interfere in water absorption and compressive strength, despite the significant increase in mechanical energy absorption of the material. Thermal conductivity reduced by 46% and the concrete blocks were 7% lighter. In addition to providing a destination for a considerable quantity of the waste, the commercial value of the final product is higher due to using a residue with low degradability and high energy power due to burning during recycling.

Apartments
The complex has 102 individual apartments, each of them with a surface of 36 square meters aproximately, and its own bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall cupboards, two elements hob, extractor fan, fridge and microwave-grill.
COMMON SERVICES
The house has the following common services that all residents can enjoy and are included in the basic rate :
" A representative and coordinator of the Residence in full-time work schedule. Therefore, personal attention to residents and permanent coordination of the different actions between students, parents and business offers.
Study rooms and group work: each group of six apartments have a common space to share, study or work in groups.
Game room on the ground floor of the block X: a leisure area with table tennis, foosball, billiards, ... free and exclusive to residents.
Musical rehearsal room on the ground floor of Y Building. Students can bring their instruments, play in this room and be part of the music group of the Residence.
The agreement lasts 12 months, from the 1rts of September to the 31th of August. This period of 12 months is compulsory. In case to leave the house during the course, you will have to credit the whole of the 12 months.
At the time of reservation through the website, you must post the deposit corresponding to two months rent. This deposit will be returned upon completion of stay at the apartment and once performed the relevant settlement.
The deposit is a security deposit. When the student permanently leaves the apartment, an inventory is made and the status of the apartment is checked. The costs for the damages in the apartment and the settlement incurred are deducted from the deposit.
The deposit is returned the next month after having left the apartment.
The settlement will be done by a responsable of Visoren Campus in the presence of the student.
The review results in a liquidation of the security deposit consisting of the costs incurred when leaving the property and includes the following:
- Hours of cleaning needed to leave the apartment prepared for the arrival of a new occupant. If leaving the apartment clean, will not be charged for this item.
- Restore missing or damaged items.
- Paint the walls in case the student has left them in bad condition.
- Other actions to be taken to leave the property as the student found when entered into it.
- Adjustment of the consumption of water, electricity, air conditioning and ACS. In case the monye is for the student, it will be refunded, and if it is for Visoren Campus, it will be deducted from the deposit.
All homes are 36 square meters and are for individual use, it only changes their orientation. The allocation of apartments corresponds to Visoren Campus, but we'll hear student's request.
For subsequent years, if you are already a resident, you may maintain the same apartment. In any case, the allocation of apartments depends on Visoren Campus.
This is an optional service to hire in the beginning or during the course, through the head of the complex. In the rates section you can see the prevailing prices. These linens and towels are not allowed out of the residence. Also, you can bring linens and towels from home and you can do the cleaning in the laundry room on the ground floor of the building Y.
This is an optional service to hire at the start or during the course, through the head of the complex. In the rates section you can see the prevailing prices. The cleaning does not include the kitchen nor windows.

- Intercultural Day Gourmet : Performed in the early going. Each student cooks a dish of his land and takes it to a dinner in which residents get to know.
- Halloween Party : Residents dress up and decorate the residence with motifs of Halloween and award prizes for the best costumes and best decorated common areas. The night ends with a dinner at the same residence.
