Newly-Renovated, State-of-the-Art Robotics Lab Unveiled
The Firebirds have a new home: a newly-renovated lab that houses state-of-the-art equipment and more space.
Thanks to the generosity of Eric Lintner (parent of Brynn Lintner ’21), and the support of various families in the Mount community, the former lab underwent a complete renovation. Lintner approached Sister Mary Dacey with design concepts and blueprints in fall 2019. The grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Saturday, February 15, with almost 100 guests in attendance, including the entire Firebirds squad, family members and friends, current and former team mentors, Board members, and MSJA faculty and staff.
The former lab was expanded, making way for an entirely new workshop. The new lab offers more space and surfaces in which the Firebirds can work, brighter lighting, updated fixtures, new workstations, and ample room for the Firebirds to store their equipment and builds.
