About the Collaboration Studio

 

Prototyping and planning

The Collaboration Studio is a collaborative space for students and faculty to create, innovate, and plan their ideas. It features lightweight technology, a mix of flexible seating types, and analog materials to help bring projects to life. We have moveable whiteboards to partition off areas (and to write on, of course!), Post-It notes, and sticky paper: we want you to be able to capture your ideas and come up with a plan to make them happen!
