FIRST Robotics
Hollis, New Hampshire – Last school year, Re:Build Manufacturing made a generous donation to support the robotics team at the Hollis Brookline Middle School, located in Hollis, New Hampshire, where I mentor science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students. My daughter and twelve other students at the school registered for the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) robotics team and the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). Competing as team number 22760, it was the rookie year for the Navy Knights, and the season was incredibly fun, exciting, and rewarding for all thirty FTC participants.

New Kensington Update
I’m thrilled to share an update on the dynamic progress of our renovations at Re:Build’s 175,000 square foot site in the New Kensington Advanced Manufacturing Park. We’ve marked another milestone in fulfilling our mission to create a revitalized, thriving, sustainable U.S. manufacturing base. Phase 1 of the physical transformation at New Ken is well underway, owing in large part to our partnership with the Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwest Pennsylvania (RIDC) and Mascaro Construction. Two out of four buildings have undergone a successful partial renovation. Outdated elements—old concrete, electrical wiring, and energy-inefficient windows—are now history. We’re pressure-washing, repairing roofs and masonry, and preparing a concrete foundation that’s over a foot thick, a testament to our commitment to excellence from the ground up.
