CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Architecture students at Clemson University are showing off their skills with the creation of a piece of urban furniture.

Students are building something they're calling a HATCHpad for an arts festival getting under way Thursday in Asheville, N.C.

The piece is serving as a bus stop and information hub during the four-day festival. It's made by assembling layers of rigid foam into a small outdoor room with ventilation and seating.

The HATCHpad also features iPads, speakers and projectors with information and pictures about the project.
