FIRST Place is the headquarters of FIRST, located at 200 Bedford Street in one of several historic mill buildings owned by Dean Kamen. FIRST Place opened in 1998 and comprises some 13,000 square feet worth of space[1].
In the early 2000s the space included computer labs, a workshop area with tool-equipped workbenches, and a lunch room as well as a hall and presentation area. A variety of robotics and electricity-related group programs were offered including LEGO Mindstorms-based competitions and 3D animation projects. Science Enrichment Encounters also operated out of the old mill buildings and offered similar science exhibits and camps, with some FIRST Place and SEE crossover programs [2].
