Grand Opening

The Warrior Fab Lab is located in the J. Burton Vasché Library after renovations were completed in 2022. The central location of the the Fab Lab within the library and on campus is symbolic of its place as a university resource, available to students, faculty and staff to engage with new technology, new ideas, and new solutions. It is designed to provide a meaningful, active, and engaging community space that extends beyond the university and into the region.

The Dr. Allan Greenberg & Dr. Ellen Junn Warrior Fab Lab opened its doors in October 2022, but it was the grand opening on April 24, 2023, that officially welcomed the new space to the campus community.

Speeches were made by University Library Dean, Ron Rodriquez; Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Rich Ogle; Fab Lab Director, Jake Weigel; Student Assistant & Coordinator, Melissa Parga, University President and donor, Dr. Ellen Junn; and her husband and donor, Dr. Allan Greenberg. After the ribbon cutting ceremony, guests were welcomed into the Fab Lab for a full showcase and demonstrations of the equipment.
