CELL

Collaborative Experiential Learning Laboratory

The CELL supports creative, interdisciplinary work that is both playful and profound. It is equipped with a 3D printer and board games, Virtual Reality and glue sticks. The construction of the CELL reflects its inclusive, experimental identity: it was designed by students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds who were given a broad mandate and supported with appropriate tools. The CELL is located within Lyman Briggs College, which is known for experimental, high powered teaching and for a curriculum that addresses science and culture in the same breath.

Accessing the CELL

The Collaborative Experiential Learning Laboratory is located in Room W10, West Holmes Hall. Students and faculty can sign out a key in 3 hour shifts at the West Holmes Service Center. In order to sign out a key, you must first meet with Dr. Record for training and fill out this form agreeing to the conditions for responsible use of the space.

The CELL is committed to providing equal access to services and facilities for all members of Lyman Briggs College and residents of Holmes Hall.
