There’s no wasted space in the five-level, 140,000-square-foot Student Innovation Center at Iowa State University. The cutting-edge facility offers plenty of open, comfortable places to meet and collaborate.

A physical hub for the ambitious work of Innovate at Iowa State, the five-level building is specifically designed to foster innovation and facilitate collaboration by erasing artificial barriers among disciplines. 

Within its high-tech walls, the Student Innovation Center has:

  • Collaborative workspaces
  • Hands-on materials labs
  • Office and workshop space for student clubs
  • A vast array of R&D equipment

It also serves as the home base for more than 80 Innovate at Iowa State programs that nurture ideas and channel energy surrounding student and faculty innovations.
