- Makerspaces at the Swanson School of Engineering: Located on the Basement level of Benedum Hall, the Makerspaces at SSOE are dedicated to helping students of all majors and disciplines gain hands-on experience in design and fabrication. The Makerspacse strive to provide students with a safe and collaborative environment with suitable facilities for collaboration, learning, design, and fabrication. By gaining entry to the Makerspace, students have access to a wide range of well-maintained equipment and useful training, helping to catalyze the design and creation of the most creative and advanced technological projects at Pitt.
- Center for Creativity Workshop: The Workshop is a pilot space for the Center for Creativity, and is an outcome of Pitt's Year of the Humanities in the University.Located downstairs in the University Store on Fifth, The Workshop is a place where members of the Pitt community can go to make things, to think through questions or problems by engaging hands and minds in making things, or to try new things without fear of ‘failure’ because the emphasis is on the process of creating rather than on product.
- Open Lab: The Teaching Center’s Open Lab is a makerspace dedicated to inspiring and facilitating excellence and innovation in teaching and learning at the University of Pittsburgh. Our mission is to provide the support and resources necessary for anyone in the Pitt community to incorporate emerging technologies into their teaching, while providing a supportive environment for members of the Pitt community to engage in exploratory learning through making.
- Swanson Center for Product Innovation: The Center was designed to give industry and entrepreneurs access to the University's state-of-the-art product development technology through the consulting services of our talented students, world-class faculty and dedicated technical staff members. While students receive hands-on experience that spans all phases of product development, clients connect with a high quality, one-stop job shop that provides efficient turnaround.
