It features two computer lab classrooms, an open access study and groupwork area, a high-tech interactive classroom, and a media studio. Altogether, the Lab is an ideal place to explore new ideas, experiment with emerging technologies, and engage in innovative, hands-on learning experiences.

This is a shared learning environment, and we ask all users to help care for it.
- Furniture may be moved to support your activity or class.
- Please return tables, chairs, and equipment to their original locations
when you are finished. - Clean up after yourself, including disposing of trash and wiping down
surfaces as needed. - Treat the space and furnishings with care, as you would your own
home, dorm, or living area.
Leaving the space ready for the next group helps ensure it remains functional, welcoming, and available for everyone.
The ACES Learning Innovation Laboratory is intended for academic use by students and faculty, including courses, group work, and individual study. Reservable conference rooms, located on the first floor, are primarily designated for events.
