The Makers Laboratory and other renovated spaces include large work tables for collaborating on projects and large, historic lab photos on the walls.
At University of Wisconsin-Stout, Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University, all of the academic programs have an experiential learning component.
For students from seven of those programs, the applied learning and collaborative experiences will be even more robust for years to come with the completion of a $3 million lab and facilities renovation project.
The centerpiece of the project is a 3-in-1 Makers Laboratory on the third floor of Fryklund Hall, which houses the Robert F. Cervenka School of Engineering. Students from the fashion and retail program and all six engineering and technology programs now have a flexible space when needed.
The space, with movable dividers, has a common central teaching area and labs on each side.
