REACTOR Shops & Labs

The Reactor Shops & Labs are a series of maker environments located inside the DI Hub that facilitate the Design Innovation Initiative’s conceptual modes of innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving.

The largest of these maker environments is the Reactor, which hosts a large studio-like workspace and a number of specialized "shops" that directly support collaborative prototyping and making activities. Beyond the Reactor, the DI Hub also houses a series of labs that support research and exploration related to emerging technologies. Most notably, this includes the Blank_Lab, X_Realm, and XR_Collaboratory which feature immersive multimedia technologies. Access to the Reactor Shops & Labs is available to all DI Hub members.
