The University of Notre Dame has opened an experiential learning and advanced manufacturing facility it says will allow for more collaboration, fabrication, robotics and modeling. The 10,000-square-foot Engineering Innovation Hub is a component of Notre Dame’s iNDustry Labs.

Notre Dame says the EIH will also serve as a fabrication and test facility for research and as a resource for local manufacturing industry partners and startups. Located on the first floor of the Cushing-Fitzpatrick Halls of Engineering, it features fabrication and machining technology, advanced manufacturing stations, 3D printing stations and computing resources.

“This EIH is game-changer for our students. This remarkable facility will help prepare future engineers who are not only technical experts, but also people who harness creativity and innovation throughout their careers and to serve a world in need,” said Managing Director Daryl Peterson.

The university says the EIH was funded through a grant from Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment Inc., along with investments from industry leaders and individual benefactors.
