Campus Lab
Campus-based projects that create hands-on learning opportunities
The Concordia Campus Lab initiative supports faculty, staff and student involvement in campus-based experimentation and innovation.
The initiative leverages campus infrastructure and resources to enable applied research projects that benefit university operations, advance faculty research and create rich learning and knowledge-sharing opportunities for students.
Project themes
The broad themes are drawn from Concordia’s Voluntary University Review. This agenda includes priorities identified by PLAN/NET ZERØ, Volt-Age, Campus Master Plan, numerous action plans (Sustainability, Indigenous Directions and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion), the President’s Task Force on Anti-Black Racism Final Report, engagement with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Concordia’s commitment to experiential learning.
Teaching and learning opportunities
Campus Lab projects can take the form of:
- Course-integrated projects
- Thesis-based projects
- Research and development projects
- Internships
- Capstone projects
- Hands-on workshops
- Summer intensive courses
