Narrative:

My student was performing touch and go landings when on the third landing the plane landed hard and bounced back into the air. The go-around procedure was initiated when the plane was hit by a gust of wind and turned directly towards a building. The building was located west of the runway and was a garage/hangar of a personal residence adjacent to the airport. The aircraft was still in ground effect and not accelerating to climb out to clear the building. The aircraft was turned to avoid the building and was heading towards a residential neighborhood. The aircraft came back down to the ground power was reduced to idle and the plane proceeded through an open lot before impacting the fence of the personal residence. No injuries were sustained but the aircraft did receive damage. The cause was the student's inability to maintain directional control and getting behind the power curve and proximity of the building to the runway environment. To prevent a recurrence the shape and height of a building in close proximity to an airport should be assessed.

Title: A hard landing and bounce by a student pilot resulted in an airborne loss of control out of which the C-172 was unable to regain flying speed; whereupon it settled into an open field and struck a residential fence.
