About LabBuilt Learning

Building and equipping vocational shops that work.

LabBuilt Learning helps vocational high schools, technical programs, and training facilities create functional, well-equipped shops—whether starting from an empty room or upgrading an existing space.

We handle layout, equipment selection, delivery, and installation, working closely with instructors to ensure every decision supports the program’s goals.

What We Do

Let’s Build around students and outcomes

Your shop should directly support the skills and certifications your students are working toward. We align layouts, tools, and technology with program outcomes—whether that’s machining/CNC, welding, automotive service, construction trades, or digital fabrication—so every piece of equipment serves a purpose in preparing students for their careers.

Experience & Reach

Before founding LabBuilt Learning, I spent over a decade working directly in vocational shops and technical labs across New England. In that time, I personally installed, serviced, and supported equipment in programs ranging from Automotive to Robotics.

That work took me inside schools like Diman Regional, Minuteman Tech, and Attleboro, as well as higher-ed institutions including Harvard, MIT, Yale, Brown, BU, UVM and many more. Seeing these programs up close gave me a clear picture of what works in a classroom

How We Work

First-Hand Credibility — Why This Work Matters

I know these classrooms because I’ve been on every side of them: as a vocational student, as the installer bringing in new tools, and as the service manager fixing them when they broke. That perspective gives me a rare 360° view of what makes a shop succeed—or fail.

I’ve seen schools spend tens of thousands—sometimes hundreds of thousands—on equipment that never fit the program. That’s wasted money and lost learning time.

LabBuilt Learning exists to make sure every investment translates into real, hands-on skills. We partner with instructors to choose the right equipment, design practical layouts, and ensure everyone feels confident from day one. For me, this isn’t just business—it’s personal.
