Investing in Our Future | Building the Next Era in Innovation

The Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center will establish an Innovation Hub on the ground floor of Walsh Library to expand access to emerging technology and foster hands-on learning.

This reimagined space will serve as a high-impact technology resource center, giving students access to specialized tools that support creative exploration, academic research and career-ready skills. Faculty will also benefit from the new facilities, with opportunities to integrate emerging technology and innovative teaching strategies into their curriculum.

The Innovation Hub will feature a glass-walled entry along Seton Drive with an open staircase connecting the space to the second floor of the library, making the technology-rich space more visible and accessible to the University community.

Inside, the Innovation Hub will include:

• an open study lounge
• technology consultation rooms
• a Maker Studio for hands-on technology projects
• an XR/AI Studio for exploratory learning
• and dedicated content creation spaces, including a Recording Studio and three Podcast Studios

The opening of the space will also move laptop and software support from Corrigan Hall to Innovation Hub which is more central to the campus for students and faculty.

The project is brought to life thanks to a $1.25 million state appropriation along with additional investments from the University.
