Project and Idea Realization Lab (PIRL)

The Courage to Create, Innovate and Build

The PIRL is a place where ideas and blueprints come to life and transform into reality. It provides an environment for all members of the St. Stephen’s community to engage in design, innovation and creative service while also recognizing the individual, local and global hope and change that compassionate making can bring to society.

“We allow kids to find what they're passionate about and then enable them to design and build it. We then give them the support, but then at the end of the day, we're also teaching them to be self-motivated, self-organized, and to go out and do things.”Troy Lanier - PIRL Director

The Future of PIRL

Director of Advancement April Speck-Ewer is excited by the fundraising progress to date for the St. Stephen’s Science and Technology Center, which will include a dramatically expanded PIRL.

The Science and Technology Center project is a top capital priority of the comprehensive campaign. With continued strong donor support, this state-of-the-art facility could open its doors to students as early as 2028.
