The Hybrid Lab serves as a catalyst for projects that explore the convergence of Art, Culture, Science and Technology.

The Lab facilitates a curriculum that encourages students and faculty to explore the expressive potential of software and hardware,

It was founded in 1999 in the "basement" of Founder's Hall. In the beginning the lab was cobbled together with surplus computers donated by CCAC's Educational Technologies. The lab has evolved into an 18 station computer lab with electronics work stations and fabrication equipment.

The Lab is an on-going project. Past and present collaborators include:
Todd Blair
Don Day
Barney Haynes
North Pitney
Michael Shiloh
David Cole

The Hybrid Lab combines different tool sets so it's possible to prototype and build projects that require programing, electronics and light fabrication in a single lab.

18 work stations
1 Teacher's station with an eight channel audio system, eight speakers for surround sound, and a projection system

Electronics
6 soldering stations
2 soldering stations with microscopes
1 Oscilloscope
7 multi-meters
A vast array of electronic components including; resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, mosfets, relays, bread boards, and connectors

Fabrication Tools

Surplus:
Throughout the existence of the lab it has been a collection point for the technological "detritus" cast off by the College. Additionally students have donated left over items that were part of projects or the projects themselves. Finally two of the Professors have loaned significant parts of their collections for students to work with.
