University weekends in Mars Hill
Mars Hill University sets the rhythm of the town, and move-in, homecoming and outdoor commencement events all put more people on the ridge than the permanent restrooms can handle. For those weekends Mars Hill gets banks of standard units at the lot edges, deluxe flushing units near the hospitality tents and an ADA accessible unit in every cluster.
Campus placement in Mars Hill is walked with facilities staff first. Service trucks stay off the pedestrian core, so Mars Hill units sit at lot corners and service drives where a driver can pull in and out without threading a crowd of families carrying boxes.
Mountain music, bike park and Mars Hill events
The old-time music tradition is strong in Mars Hill, and festival weekends draw people from well outside Madison County. Those Mars Hill bookings mix standard units with handwashing stations near the food vendors, sized to how long the gate stays open rather than to the headcount alone.
Bailey Mountain adds a different sort of Mars Hill event. Race days and trail work on the Mars Hill bike park need units at the trailhead and the staging lot, and we set them on gravel where a service truck is not fighting the same wet singletrack the riders are.
Building above the interstate in Mars Hill
Construction around Mars Hill is mostly single homes, small commercial work along the highway and improvements at the college. A Mars Hill homesite above the interstate usually sits at the end of a steep private drive, so the unit is placed at the first level bench rather than at the house pad.
Weather decides the rest of the Mars Hill schedule. Elevation here means real ice from December on, and a wet gravel drive after a mountain downpour is just as limiting, so Mars Hill stops get sequenced by which grades the truck can safely climb that morning.
