IdeaLab Hours

 

Spring 2021

Monday – Friday, 9am – 2:45pm

Please make sure you have your Co-Verify, Skidmore ID, and a mask.

Thanks! Wash your hands, wear a mask, and stay healthy!

The IdeaLab is located behind Penfield Hall just off Perimeter Road.

In the Spring 2017, the idea of a designated Makerspace on campus became a reality, through the course “Creating a Makerspace.” The concept of a Makerspace is very simple, it is a place to create things in a hands-on way.

If you have any questions for the IdeaLab manager please email Darren Prodger: dprodger@skidmore.edu
