Nate has organized a conference call this Tuesday with a design firm that is interested in working on the lab design. They are known for their designs of collaborative spaces, for youth and for adults: http://www.nollandtam.com/
This is great news - a solid design is one of our core needs, and was a potential bottleneck this month.
The call will be at 1500 EST and will last for less than an hour. If you are interested in joining, reply to this thread, and you'll get a link to dial into. By Tuesday we should have more information on a potential place to locate a lab, as well.
Warmly, SJ
