When you are given keys and free reign of several science classrooms for use as meeting and work space after-hours.

971 doesn't have a lab or classroom of their own to work in. In fact, the only space that belongs to the team is a table (https://picasaweb.google.com/117769834305511597729/2007BuildSeason#5034107405418912226)in an interior hallway of the science wing, and a storage closet. Several science teachers give the team regular access to their rooms, and their support has increased since we started working out of the science wing in 2004.
