LEARNING LAB
For Student Athletes
- $200,000 committed / $250,000 NEEDED! -
The workload for Wy’East student athletes is incredibly intense with 4-6 hrs spent each day in high-performance athletics with another 4-6 hours on college preparatory academics. The vision for the Learning Lab is for it to provide our students with an inspiring and productive space for studying, developing musical talent, pursuing sustainable career opportunities, or furthering their outdoor and environmental education with Wy’East partners such as the National Center for Outdoor and Adventure Education.
Situated in the heart of Wy’East’s 28-acre forested campus, the library’s glass walls and skylights will provide natural light in a space made cozy by its gas fireplace and made calming by a waterfall cascading from its roof to its exterior reflection pond. Nature will serve as the prime inspiration with the structure’s elevated platform design leaving untouched forest floor beneath, live roof, rain garden, solar panels, and holistic healing fire circle anchoring its entry.
This invigorating space will include musical instruments and six modern Find Your Grind computer stations for students to discover career paths and build essential skills. Additionally, the library's centerpiece will be the Scheidel Foundation Library, containing classic books and other analog student materials.
