Wayne High School Engineering Lab Renovation

Prodigy partnered with Huber Heights City School District to design and renovate a next‑generation Robotics Lab that supports advanced STEM instruction, automation training, and hands‑on programming. The project included mechanical, electrical, architectural, technology, and interior upgrades to create a high‑performance learning environment aligned with modern manufacturing and robotics standards.

Mechanical upgrades included replacing the existing heating‑only air handler with a new heating and cooling system tied into the building’s chilled water loop. New exposed spiral ductwork was installed to improve airflow and give the lab a clean, industrial aesthetic.

Electrical improvements included installation of a dedicated 208/3/60 electrical panel, new circuits for all robotics equipment, and full lighting replacement throughout the lab. Fire alarm devices were modified to match the new layout and ensure code compliance.

Technology and equipment integration included layout and placement for a full suite of industry‑standard robotics and automation systems:

• (2) Yaskawa YRC1000 robots

• (2) FANUC ER‑4iA robots

• (2) FANUC CRX‑5iA collaborative robots

• (1) PLC/HMI Controls Center

• (1) FANUC/Levil EDU Mill Cobot Integration Package

• (5) FANUC CNC Simulators

• (3) Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machines

To support instruction and collaboration, the lab also received 24 student computer desks and chairs, a 12' whiteboard, six 55" networked displays, five adjustable‑height worktables, adjustable stools, and 20 feet of new storage cabinetry.

Interior renovations included new flooring, full painting of walls and ceiling, and installation of a new storefront system with double doors to create a modern, open entry into the lab.

This renovation delivers a fully modernized Robotics Lab designed for programming, automation, CNC machining, collaborative robotics, and advanced manufacturing education—preparing students for high‑demand technical careers.
