Infinity Room

PSHS Infinity Room (Fabrication Laboratory)

The Infinity Room is a fabrication laboratory where students can manufacture their prototypes for their projects. It has 3D Printers and other fabrication equipment. Thus, the students can apply their theoretical designs and create their prototypes. 

The Infinity Room is also open to external parties who wish to create their own prototypes and validate their designs. This is ideal for those who have tech startups so as to create their designs.   

The Infinity Room is a result of funding from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and donors from the alumni association of the PSHS.
