Abstract: The IDEXlab (Integrative Design Experience Laboratory), originally funded through a National Science Foundation (NSF) Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) grant, is a curriculum program redefining traditional pedagogical approaches by integrating academic curriculum content through an applied project in an office/ studio/lab environment. Working across disciplines; students design, build, and commission projects for community and regional partners. The program has successfully completed a farmer’s market, a welcome center, an exhibit space, a teaching pavilion, a mobile classroom, and more. In the past, each of these project-based experiences has demanded in-person access to physical space for collaboration, physical technology for production, and fabrication tools for construction. In six years of operation, we have expanded and evolved the IDEXlab concept, expanding into multiple departments, rotating faculty in and out, and delivering many community partners tangible products, both through design and construction services.
