UD's ISE Lab marks a new direction for academic facilities. From its classes and offices designed to foster collaboration, to its living "green" rooftop, the 194,000-square-foot facility is a novel hub for the science of the future.

It's a place where new problem solvers will be trained. It's a place where new teaching approaches will be employed. And it's a place where innovation will be cultivated.
