The upper shop held the power tools for the woodshop program and was used primarily by Donn Munn and the maintenance staff. By the late 1990s the woodshop program was not being offered as a regular [[activity]]. The building was used for tool and equipment storage and other assorted small projects such as working on the [[plaques]].

| − | From Ron Mattson, the first [[Field Director]], come these famous moments in Birch Rock [[baseball]] history.
