Learning Environments

M.I.X.@Innovation Hall

The Mason Innovation Exchange in Innovation Hall, or M.I.X.@Innovation Hall, is the first of Mason’s learning spaces intentionally designed for students, faculty and staff to come together for the express purpose of creating, building, problem-solving, and collaborating collectively.

The overarching vision for the M.I.X.@Innovation Hall is

  • To build and maintain a place that affords collaboration on all forms of technology, culture, and craft in new and dynamic ways
  • To freely share research and discoveries, using what is learned to teach others
  • To encourage educational innovations, programmatic and otherwise, that capitalize on the affordances of the space
  • To facilitate creative experimentation and launch innovative solutions and prototypes for contemporary challenges, especially in partnership with industry and community sponsors
  • To strengthen alumni connections through entrepreneurial and mentorship opportunities
  • To strengthen and expand the Mason Innovation Community in the greater metropolitan DC area
  • To recruit and develop talented contributors devoted to these goals
