Research Facilities
Research is woven into the fabric of campus. Nearly every academic building includes several research labs or centers. These facilities play a vital role in conducting innovative studies that drive technological advancements and solutions for industry and government while fostering student learning and regional economic growth.
Vanderboom Laboratory for Entrepreneurial Research (aka V-Lab)
Thanks to a generous donation from alumnus Steve Vanderboom and his wife Julie, the V-Lab offers crucial space for research expansion. This addition is greatly appreciated given the growing number of research awards Mines has received.
The V-Lab is also home to the Office of Research Affairs.
