Project Overview
Following the recommendation of a committee, which included local manufacturing and engineering leaders in demand for skilled trades workers, Arrowhead High School transformed its old industrial arts space into the school’s new Engineering, Manufacturing, and Design Center—a new learning space that provides the flexibility and equipment to adapt to advances in manufacturing.
A large design area, an innovation lab, two engineering labs, and a manufacturing lab will facilitate the concepts of identifying problems, creating solutions, and implementing them in the manufacturing phase, necessary skills for careers in design and production. The state-of-the-art space is outfitted with equipment donated by local manufacturing and engineering firms. Just in its first year, the space served 260 freshman and sophomore students with much expanded opportunities in the engineering and manufacturing curriculum.
