Colorado School of Mines Labriola Innovation Hub

The Labriola Innovation Hub is a dedicated place where students can innovate, prototype, work in teams and develop into future industry leaders.

Theis new, 35,000-square-foot building serves as an Innovation Hub, including metal and wood shops, 3D printing and student cornerstone projects. The building is a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) with conventional steel inside. Dust collection, large glass viewing from the conference rooms and a large foyer grand entrance are all distinct properties of this project. The project also includes a major exterior and interior renovation plus a 400-square-foot addition to an existing 10,000-square-foot truck shop.

The term “all under one roof” was coined to describe the organizing principle of the project — to allow students and faculty to engage in a widespread and extensive innovation curriculum within a single campus building. The exposed building structure and mechanical systems showcase the project’s construction and are intended to inspire the students work.
