Open Lab at Hillman
About the Open Lab at Hillman
Students, staff, and faculty are all welcome at the Open Lab, where you'll find support from staff who can provide training and expert guidance. If you are interested in using the Open Lab’s specialized equipment but haven’t before, please make an appointment for a basic training session with Open Lab staff, or drop by during open hours for an overview or demonstration.
The lab is currently equipped with a virtual reality workstation, a 3D printer, a vinyl cutter, and standalone VR headsets. We'll continue to develop the equipment available here, so check back (and let us know what you'd like to see!).
