As part of the Innovation + Research Education Futures Collaboratory and Ecosystem, the X►STUDIO is located in room 311 of the Consumers Energy (John G Russell Leadership) building in downtown Grand Rapids, next to the Seidman College of Business. While the exhibition-based TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE in Allendale is a place to "come and see" the latest and greatest in emerging technology, the studio is a space to "go and do". Interested in visiting the studio? Please contact Jacob Fortman, Emerging Technology Research Analyst.

The studio is a coworking space and state-of-the-art technology studio, designed to accelerate and incubate ideas, explore future teaching and learning technologies, engage with faculty and students to collect feedback, and encourage exploration and experimentation in the design of the next generation of transformational teaching and learning environments. 

Come to the studio to eXplore, eXperience, and eXperiment with innovative technologies to 
help shape the future of teaching, learning, and research at GVSU!
