Committee discusses dedicated robotics/STEM center vs. temporary spaces

Groton School District Ad Hoc Long-Term Space Planning Committee · August 25, 2026

Summary

Members explored options for a dedicated robotics/STEM center (either an addition near the woodshop or a separate building) and cautioned against ad-hoc solutions; the committee will check whether robotics should fall within its charge before acting.

The committee discussed developing a dedicated STEM/robotics center rather than relying on temporary or shared spaces. Members described a vision near the woodshop with garage-door access to an exterior field and a full indoor robotics field for tournaments, camps and year-round programs; the goal is an intentional design that supports teaching and community use.

"My own personal side thoughts on that is I would rather see an intentional, an intentional space that's kind of thought out rather than a rather than a building just that's just added that may or may not work really well in a long term plan," the chair said, urging careful planning. Members agreed to ask the board chair whether the robotics center falls within this committee’s charge before committing staff time.
