In that wing we were given about 8000 sqft for a competition arena, a build area, a small machine shop, and a classroom. I have some drawings of the building if anyone is interested but the pictures speak much louder than the drawings! Here is an album of how it looks today. We are still under construction a little, and have a lot more to set up but this gives you a good idea of the space.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Hi Adrienne,
I had no idea that you posted here until now. Team 148's setup is very impressive. Best part is it's brand new!

Can you send me drawings of the building if possible? I also would like to use your photos as examples.
987 has already shared theirs with me already.

We plan to meet with our legislators later this month after already submitting a needs assessment/request. We plan to also host several town hall meetings prior to submitting our final plans for a legislative bill early Spring.

Can you share what Team 148's facilities cost was of the total funds?

I also wanted to share that one of our middle schools in Hawaii recently got a science and technology center built which was unveiled right before we left for China.
Its a 20,684 sq ft building. They normally host our VEX Middle School State Championships and we look forward to trying to 3-peat in their brand new center!
If we can get the requested 11 million, this is the size I want.
