Hall for Discovery and Learning Research
Center creates environment for discovery
Purdue University’s Discovery Learning Research Center (DLRC) seeks to advance research that revolutionizes learning in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines. Through research projects and innovative programs fostered by this new facility, Purdue is able to redesign pedagogies, explore new technologies and create innovative learning environments that nurture lifelong learning for students and citizens of a global community.
All learning and teaching spaces in DLRC are essentially reconfigurable research spaces. The new building provides creative learning, science, and project laboratories where experts in academia, industry and K-12 education collaborate to revolutionize learning. Black-box rooms, with movable walls and furniture, help researchers experiment with the environment. A theatrical tension grid provides overhead flexibility.
