Living Lab

You probably have seen a few signs that say "Living Lab" all across campus at various locations. Have you ever wonder
What is Living Lab?
The concept of a living laboratory is acutally quite simple. The University aspires to create a "living laboratory" in which the campus grounds are not only a backdrop of campus life, but an integral component of teaching, research, and outreach. As such, the campus grounds will be a medium for innovation, testing, demonstration, and learning. Check out some of our past Living Lab projects below

How can I be part of Living Lab?
If you have an innovative idea or project that you want to experiment with, Living Lab is a great choice. Below is the process and deadlines to apply for Living Lab 2014. The Twin Cities Sustainability Committee has developed a process to facilitate identification and implementation of living laboratory projects. The Committee invites proposals from the University community to utilize campus grounds as a living laboratory. Selected proposals will be provided space on the campus grounds and assistance facilitating project implementation. Living Lab is open for Spring 2014 request for proposals now through March 28, 2014. Click here for more information.
