Innovation Hall is located on the southeast corner of Michigan and Blackford streets, the building was constructed to meet the evolving teaching and research needs for programs in the School of Science, the School of Engineering and Technology, and the School of Informatics and Computing.

It's also home to the university's first Class 100 clean room, a specific type of space that provides high levels of cleanliness. That means faculty and students will now have space on campus to fabricate nanodevices.

Innovation Hall was designed specifically to enhance innovative collaboration across the three schools.The lab space will support research and development in areas such as the Internet of Things, data science and engineering, artificial intelligence, and visual analytics.
