MAGIC Labs (MSS-2120 and MSS-3120) Access and Policies

MAGIC Lab Overview

2120 room capacity: 20 people

3120 room capacity: 50 people

Maximum reservation duration: These facilities are not reservable.

Both MAGIC Labs MSS-2120 and MSS-3120 are dedicated to MAGIC research, programs, and commercial development. These are not open lab spaces as each seat is outfitted for a specific user based on their project needs. Because of this, if you were to sit at one of these stations, you would likely find you do not have many of the software or resources you are looking for. We encourage those looking for an open lab workspace to check out the 5 labs located throughout the MAGIC building.
