Breaking ground in 2026, the Learning Lab will be a bright, nature-inspired hub at the heart of Wy’East’s 28-acre campus, designed for studying, creating, tutoring, and real-world career exploration.
Luke Trembath Learning Lab
In Honor of Luke “Dingo” Trembath
To celebrate Luke’s passion for education, creativity, and action sports—and his lasting impact on our community—the space will be officially named the Luke Trembath Learning Lab™.
The workload for Wy’East student athletes is incredibly intense with 4-6 hrs spent each day in high-performance athletics with another 4-6 hours on college preparatory academics. The vision for the Learning Lab is for it to provide our students with an inspiring and productive space for studying, developing musical talent, pursuing sustainable career opportunities, or furthering their outdoor and environmental education with Wy’East partners such as the National Center for Outdoor and Adventure Education.
Situated in the heart of Wy’East’s 28-acre forested campus, the library’s glass walls and skylights will provide natural light in a space made cozy by its gas fireplace and made calming by a waterfall cascading from its roof to its exterior reflection pond. Nature will serve as the prime inspiration with the structure’s elevated platform design leaving untouched forest floor beneath, live roof, rain garden, solar panels, and holistic healing fire circle anchoring its entry.
This invigorating space will include musical instruments and six modern Find Your Grind Foundation computer stations for students to discover career paths and build essential skills. Additionally, the library's centerpiece will be the Scheidel Foundation Library, containing classic books and other analog student materials.

Will you help us break ground by donating today?
We’re just $40,000 away from reaching our fundraising goal to break ground in 2026. And thanks to a generous one-to-one match from the Scheidel Foundation, every donation will be doubled, up to $20,000.
Every dollar you give will go twice as far—bringing us closer to the first shovel in the ground and to creating a place where our students can pursue their academic dreams.
Together, we can help our young people soar as students and athletes.
Join Nick, Shaun, Henry, and others building a space that will inspire generations. Every contributor will be permanently recognized within the Learning Lab™’s design, a visible, lasting tribute woven into the very fabric of the structure. Your name will stand among those who believed in this vision, a shared commitment to empowering young creators and athletes. Together, these names will form a living monument to the community that made the Luke Trembath Learning Lab possible.
