IDEA Lab
Inclement Weather: February 25, 2026
All classes starting prior to 11 a.m. will be remote. Classes after 11 a.m. will be in person. Non-essential staff should work remote until 11 a.m. then report to campus as scheduled.
The IDEA Lab (Innovate–Design–Engineer–Apply) facilitates a transdisciplinary, problem-based, community engaged innovation environment through digital fabrication and advanced manufacturing.
We have a full-time manager, 2 students as assistant managers, and more than a dozen specialist students to help you get started on your projects. IDEA Lab is free to use for the Sacred Heart community (except materials) and is also open to public with a fee (SHU student involvement required). We hope to see you in the lab as well. Come visit us at SHU West Campus, west building, first floor.
