Education | Innovation Lab | Addition and Renovation
The NJIT Makerspace Lab is an addition and renovation to the Guttenberg Information Technology Center and is designed to support innovative interdisciplinary programs that promote entrepreneurship. The lab is a resource for students and faculty to develop theoretical concepts into marketable prototypes. The program and design of the Makerspace Lab encourage collaborative creativity through interdisciplinary teamwork using a variety of digital mediums and mechanical tools.
The interior, like the academic program, is inherently flexible for reconfiguration, adaptable for multiple applications, and industrial for durability. The transparent façade highlights the innovative activities happening within and engages the entire campus and community.
