DRSS Board Member highlight

Below is a link to a recent story about one of our DRSS Board members, Michael Bridges. Mr. Bridges is the President of Peerless Technologies, a company headquartered here in the Dayton region that does defense contracting work across the country. The article highlights Mr. Bridges and his family's connections to Wright State University.

We are fortunate to have Mr. Bridges as one of our board members.

Summer move

The Dayton Regional STEM School has now moved out of the second floor of the Clark State Community College building. It is a little eerie to see the space that housed us for two years completely empty (see a couple of pictures below). All of the furniture and equipment has been moved into the permanent facility, separate from where the construction is happening.

We are now located in 250 University Hall on the campus of Wright State University. For the summer, you can continue to reach us by the same email addresses and the same school number, 937-431-1837. If you plan to visit in person, please be sure to call ahead of time to check that someone will be in the office. Our second move this summer will be in mid- or late-August to the permanent facility on Woodman Drive.

New Facility Construction

The construction on the new facility is moving quickly. Roof monitors have been installed to let more natural light into the building, and the roof is nearly all replaced. Below are some pictures from the Brick Breaking ceremony earlier this month, followed by some pictures of what it currently looks like (as of May 31) inside the building- a long way to go still, but it is exciting to see some progress!
