Naming Opportunities

The prototyping lab will specifically serve student learning associated with technology. It will be the primary location of the Artificial Intelligence Institute which focuses on emerging technologies.

By providing cutting edge resources, the prototyping lab will allow students to explore and discover their passions in a purpose built facility, exposing students to technologies as they come on-line.

This includes more traditional technology like robotics (land and aquatic), computer programming, hardware building and basic circuitry, but also explore and develop artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality assets (some of which are being minted as NFTs), exploration of block-chain technologies, and developing IoT products that will improve the production and management of our indoor aeroponic community supported agriculture (CSA).

The Institute classroom is located within the prototyping lab . Classes meeting in this space will also have convenient access to the design lab, digital media lab, and breakout areas for hands-on experiential learning.

The student center patio will be an outdoor space on the ground floor. It is adjacent to the café and overlooks the soccer field. During the academic day, the patio will be a place for studying and socializing. During late afternoons and on weekends, the school community will gather there for student programming and watching athletics.

Leading from Schoolhouse Road, Ahlborn Way will be a first contact point for all visitors to Perkiomen, including prospective students and their families, university admissions officers, and athletic competitors. For alumni returning to campus, this view will blend the familiar with the new and welcome them home to their old stomping grounds. Winding down the green landscapes, passing through the athletic fields, and ending at the student drop-off circle, this scenic entryway will leave a lasting first impression of Perkiomen’s beautiful grounds and striking architecture for all who make their way to campus.
