Designed for close, high-quality discussion, the space combines tiered seating, integrated display technology, and flexible teaching capabilities to support lectures, group dialogue, executive briefings, and project presentations.

The executive forum features a sweeping, high-impact digital display designed to support both roundtable discussion and classroom-style learning. With clear sightlines from every seat, the room makes it easy to share presentations, data, video, and collaborative work at a scale that feels immersive without overpowering the conversation.

This tiered classroom was purpose-built to support a high-quality hybrid learning experience, allowing remote participants to engage as naturally and clearly as those in the room. A network of integrated microphones, distributed speakers, audience-facing cameras, and confidence monitors helps create seamless communication between in-person and remote students.

Curved rows and elevated seating provide strong sightlines throughout the room, while integrated projection and AV systems support presentations, discussion, and collaborative instruction from multiple positions.

The large cooperative work area at the center of the Labs is affectionately called the Makerspace. This area includes worktables, model-making supplies, drawing tools, and a variety of other maker technologies that don’t fit the confines of a specific lab. Students, faculty, staff, and other members of our community interact and collaborate on design and prototyping solutions that address the unique challenges of their projects. Here you can explore form-finding, fabrication, and assembly techniques, and create complex parts and assemblies using computer-controlled equipment.

The Hardware Prototyping Lab is a dedicated space for developing, testing, and fabricating electronics hardware prototypes. It houses several fully equipped electronic workstations, a full line of printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping equipment, and a library of materials and components available to all users.
