Fort Wayne Community Schools | AMP Lab STEAM School

Built by Weigand and designed by Elevatus Architecture as part of the Electric Works expansion/renovation project, The Amp Lab is a special school program that is available for hundreds of juniors and seniors throughout the Fort Wayne region.

A New Kind of Education

With the goal to prepare students for an ever-changing workplace, the program helps members of the future workforce grow as a team. Since collaboration is a central value of the Amp Lab, the construction design is geared towards wide, open concept learning suites. Therefore, students have the room to develop and contribute together.

State-of-the-Art Learning Environment

The Lab features all kinds of collective spaces where students can work, study, and create with one another:

Indoor greenhouse Media production lab Wood/Fabrication shop Music production studio Collaborative halls Conference rooms Classrooms
