Innovation Lab – Week 2 Updates

Innovation Lab Weekly Update.

Week two has been filled with surprises and excitement. The more we proceed into this adventure, the more we reach into the past and discover things that have not seen the light of day in a long time. As we look to touch the past we are also getting very excited about what the future hold for us at the NAHF.

The “Footprint”

Emily, the Innovation LabDesigner, was here for most of the week laying out the footprint of the lab. We also worked in tandem with her to find some items to use within the lab for decor.

The “Big” Find

The biggest surprise of the week would have to be the Pratt & Whitney working model of a jet engine. It will be an intricate part of the“petting zoo” that will be inside the Innovation Lab.

Great Finds Upstairs

While Linda and I have been sorting through books and artifacts in the print room, we had the pleasure of finding an album of original photos that included several of Amelia Erhart Putnam. HOW COOL!

Another Lucky Find

With the addition of the innovation lab, there also comes a sink within the confines of the lab. A hole had to be dug through the floor of the Hall and fitted to accommodate the new plumbing. It was exactly where it was supposed to be, and the tie-in is done. From my vantage point, the entire process is running very smoothly with very few hiccups.
