About the i.Lab
The Innovation Lab, or "i.Lab," at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, is a unique physical learning environment rooted in multidisciplinary thinking and informed by ethnographic, anthropological, and other methodologies traditionally used in the social sciences. Its structure allows faculty to engage students around core skills essential to innovative business thinkers, and it serves as a physical complement to a new academic discipline offered at Darden around learning rooted in innovation-intensive design. The i.Lab is not case-based but experiential, team-based and collaborative and serves as a complement to traditional tiered, four-walled business-school classrooms. The i.Lab was completed with the generous support of Darden's Batten Institute, a center for research and teaching dedicated to advancing knowledge about entrepreneurship and innovation.
