Lehigh’s Strategic Plan aims to understand the intersection of technology and human work. The technologies that create this crossroads are rapidly changing. In response, Library and Technology Services has been creating spaces that provide access to both technology and staff that support its use. The most recent addition is the LTS Emerging Technologies (LETs) Lab, which is located in the former Digital Media Studio (DMS) Photography and Videography Studio (EWFM 430).

Designed to be a collaborative space on campus, LETs Lab creates an environment for students, faculty, and staff to experiment with emerging and advancing technologies (e.g., XR, Generative AI, GIS and drone technology) and consult with LTS staff who support these technologies. The LETs Lab also creates a common space to highlight work being done in other LTS digital making spaces, including the Student Developer Lab, the XR Learning Lab, and the Digital Media Lab. As Lehigh seeks to promote a community of Future Makers, LETs Lab adds infrastructure to an environment meant to foster innovative and interdisciplinary work.

The LETs Lab features a 98" display, a mobile display cart, three Alienware PC workstations and a high powered Macbook Pro for development, iPads, a fleet of Meta Quest VR headsets, AI Glasses, and teaching space with 8 moveable tables and 18 chairs.

The LETs Lab is open and available for drop-in visits Monday-Friday from 9AM-4PM. These hours may vary during academic break periods.

Please note that the LETs Lab is sometimes reserved for use by a class or group. You can visit this link to view the LETs Lab schedule to help plan your visit.
