Undergraduate Research Space - Office of Research

Visit the Office of Undergraduate Research

The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) is excited to introduce its new home. Located in the new Academic Learning Center (ALC), Suite 5500, the OUR suite houses numerous highly configurable workspaces to promote interactions among undergraduate student and faculty researchers. A state-of-the-art interactive video wall provides unprecedented ways for visualization of complex data. Reversible dry erase boards/bulletin boards on wheels also provide another way to visualize thoughts & concepts, write down ideas, explain & teach, and plan & create in a group setting. We look forward to working with you!

If you would like to reserve a space for your undergraduate research activities, please read more about our Nest configurations below and complete the reservation form!
