CoLab

Students using CoLab to work on a group project

Colab is an alternative study and working space created by students for students. Located on the third floor of Alden Library, the CoLab is the home of the Center for Entrepreneurship. 

Our space includes our makerspace, a 3D printing lab, and reservable conference/ study rooms.

Our makerspace includes woodworking tools, sewing machines, Cricut smart cutting machines, an embroidery machine, and other craft supplies.

The 3D printer lab includes two Bambu Lab P1S machines and two Bambu Lab A1 machines. PLA filament is provided for small projects.

CoLab’s mission is to enable and empower students to live and grow through creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. 

Through this, we hope to achieve a more connected and innovation-focused community that creates with the goal of changing the world around us. 

CoLab is a central hub that unites students from all backgrounds and embeds innovation and entrepreneurship into their lives. By facilitating cross-disciplinary collisions and providing creative, innovative and entrepreneurial tools, the CoLab enables and empowers students to make their own aspirations tangible.


CoLab’s Beginnings

CoLab was founded in 2015 by Alex Kneier and Lori Bentz, now alumni, who had just completed their training as Stanford University Innovation Fellows. The UIF program trains students to bring people together through creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship on campuses across the world, and CoLab aims to do that on ºìÐÓÊÓÆµâ€™s campus.
