The Make It Right Foundation aims to rejuvenate the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans as the greenest community in the nation. It does this through placing residents who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina in new architect-designed green homes. Until the residents move back in however, MIR has to maintain the lots. In an effort to make this duty more carbon neutral, MIR launched Operation Slow Mow to replace mechanical mowers with goats. MIR asked the Tulane Urban Build Program to design and construct a mobile unit to house the goats to be used for yard maintenance in the 9th Ward. Students in the Urban Build Studio designed 11 proposals for mobile units, of which one was chosen for construction.

The final design chosen by MIR consists of a welded steel frame with timbersil dimensioned lumber cladding placed on a 60-foot repurposed trailer chassis. The timbersil is spaced to provide ample ventilation and security for the goats while also casting dynamic shadows. The vertically oriented front seamlessly integrates a two bay sliding door.

The roof form drains rainwater to the center where it is collected in repurposed barrels to be used for the watering and cleaning of the goats. The water collected can meet roughly one third of the needs for 16 goats. Other green features include roof mounted solar panels and the extensive use of and recycling of scrap wood from surrounding construction sites.
