Johnstown-Monroe Intermediate students name the crane

One of the largest land-based crawler cranes in the world is now on the Intel Ohio One campus. Affectionately named “Ms. Armstrong” by the students from Johnstown Intermediate School, this massive machine is taller than two Statues of Liberty and can lift 5.5 million pounds. When the time comes, the Liebherr LR 12500 will lift steel trusses to create the superstructure for Intel’s new facility in Ohio.

Since she can be seen from miles away, the students wanted Ms. Armstrong to represent four themes:

Powerful: The name Armstrong is associated with strength and resilience. This crane literally has a strong arm.

Math: Armstrong numbers are used to teach basic coding and this connects the students’ love of math to the crane's name. This was important since math is foundational for engineering and technology.

Ohio History: The students wanted to pay homage to Ohio’s history in aviation with many firsts, like the Wright Brothers and Jerrie Mock's solo flight. And Ohio has had 24 astronauts including John Glenn and Neil Armstrong, who was the first person to set foot on the Moon.

Girls in STEM & Women on the Moon: When naming this crane, the students added “Ms.” as a way to shine a light on the future of women in space and in STEM careers. Through the NASA Artemis campaign, we will see the first woman and first person of color walk on the surface of the Moon. Ohio will have an important role in this too because as NASA says, “the road to the moon, goes through Ohio.”

As a gesture of our gratitude, the Intel Ohio engineering team built a mini model of Ms. Armstrong from nearly 3,000 building bricks so the students can use it to learn about the mechanics of a crane. The toy crane will be on loan to The Works so students around the region can learn about the physics of a crane before it will be returned to Johnstown Intermediate School as a permanent STEM education tool.

Intel reaches 'go vertical' construction milestone

Semiconductor manufacturing facilities, or fabs, are made up of four levels – each with a different purpose – to enable the incredible complex manufacturing process. The Ohio construction team recently completed the “basement” level of the fab and have started building the above ground structure. This important milestone brings us one step closer to our vision for the Silicon Heartland.

We're sharing new photos and video b-roll of our site, including our newest crane Ms. Armstrong.

Celebrating the final ASU delivery

In August, we celebrated the arrival of final ASU cold box superload. Thank you for the Johnstown Chamber of Commerce and Lynd Fruit Farm for hosting a watch party so folks could watch the convoy on the final leg of its journey. Each cold box - topping the scales at over 900,000 pounds and measuring about the size of a football field - made their way by barge on the Ohio River and were loaded onto trucks from a port in Adams County and then traveled to Intel’s Ohio One campus in Licking County.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to the Ohio Department of Transportation, State Highway Patrol and the many towns and cities that collaborated to ensure the safe delivery of this extra large equipment.

Our commitment to Ohio students

We’ve had a busy start to fall with numerous harvest festivals, including the New Albany Trunk or Treat, Johnstown’s Halloween Parade, and events in Franklin County where we delivered hands-on science demonstrations to show how chemistry is cool, how to have fun with physics, and about construction and logistics.

Over the summer, our visits took us to the Ohio State Fair and Hartford Fair, where we hosted hands-on STEAM activities that encouraged exploration of chemistry, biology, geology, physics, circuitry, and the process of turning sand to silicon – something essential to what we do here at Intel. 

Encouraging students to explore STEM activities is part of Intel’s longstanding commitment to volunteering and education.
