Design Lab

The Design Lab, located in the House Undergraduate Library, is devoted to the teaching and learning of digital design. Open to UNC students, staff or faculty members, the Lab is where you can work on any design project for a class assignment, student organization, or professional/personal development.*

Use the Lab

  • 8 iMacs and 10 PCs equipped with the Adobe Creative Suite and web development software
  • Scanners for every kind of project: quick and efficient sheet-fed scanners, large-format high-resolution scanners for images and film, and a high-speed book scanner**

SkillfUL Tech Workshops

We offer workshops to help you get started on your projects and introduce you to digital design software and concepts. HTML, Photoshop, InDesign, Excel and more! Find all the details on the SkillfUL website.

Consultations

Sign up for a one-on-one meeting to get help on your design project. Our staff can help you learn the software and equipment you need to make your project a reality. We’ve helped patrons with everything from websites to logos, academic posters to flyers and other promotional materials. **You may make up to two appointments per week.
