The Curriculum Lab opened on February 12, 2001, after two years of planning and preparation. A collaborative panel of both faculty and students worked toward the goal of creating a lab that would meet and exceed the needs of ULV's Education and Liberal Arts students. The result is a central location that combines the qualities of a material center, mini-library, and idea center. The closest lab of its kind, on a university campus, is in Indiana.

The Curriculum Lab's number one goal is to keep up-to-date and to provide students with the materials and equipment they need to be the teachers they want to be. Your suggestions are always welcome! Give them in person, or email the lab at currlab@ulv.edu.

We ask that each student log in when they enter the lab, even if the visit is only for a brief period of time. By providing proof of the lab's use and importance, we can continue to provide services and remain in operation.

When in the lab, remember to check the bulletin board for current information on field-related lectures, classes, and general education department info.
