Arizona State University continues to be one of the most innovative universities in the country. The new Humanities Lab is consistent with that ranking because it changes the way faculty and students approach instruction and research. The Humanities Lab provides students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on research on compelling social challenges of interest to today’s students while working with others who are also invested in making a difference. To accomplish this goal, the Humanities Lab has designed a flexible, experimental space in Ross Blakely Hall to promote collaboration and team-based activities including huddle spaces and rough tables for building models, making posters, etc.
