Lubrizol and Bowling Green City Schools created an outdoor learning lab to support STEM and environmental education.
Employees contributed funding, volunteer labor, equipment storage, and ongoing maintenance support to keep the space active through 2026.
The partnership shows how long-term community investment can create practical, lasting educational value for local students.

The Learning Lab has quickly become a valued community resource, supporting cross-disciplinary learning across science, environmental studies, language arts, and cultural exploration. The partnership illustrates the power of sustained collaboration—demonstrating how consistent investment of time, resources, and expertise can create lasting educational and community impact.

Lubrizol’s Bowling Green team continues to strengthen its long-standing partnership with Bowling Green City Schools, advancing STEM education and environmental learning through collaboration, hands-on engagement, and shared investment. In 2024, The Lubrizol Foundation funded the creation of the Lubrizol Learning Lab, an innovative outdoor classroom at Bowling Green Middle School designed to bring science learning to life and help students build deeper connections with the natural environment.

Employees contributed far more than financial support. During the Global Month of Impact, volunteers constructed benches and workstations that now serve as key features of the outdoor classroom. In 2025, employees returned to assemble a new storage shed, ensuring safe and organized access to tools and equipment needed for ongoing programming. Lubrizol has also committed annual maintenance grants through 2026, reinforcing the long-term sustainability and continued use of the space.
