The Center for Student Innovation (CSI) on the lower level of Booth Library includes three large areas: an Active Learning Classroom with integrated Design Lab and adjoining breakout rooms; an Innovation Gateway and Community Wall; and a Collaboratory.

The CSI is home to a variety of new technology, including a podcasting studio, gaming computers, 3D printers, Google jamboard, large computer monitors and a green screen, purchased with a grant from the Illinois State Library. Patrons who would like access to the CSI technology should make a request online.

In addition, the CSI is home to a Technology Checkout Station. Students with a valid Panther Card may check out technology such as laptop computers, digital cameras, and webcams for a limited period of time.

To reserve the Active Learning Classroom, make an appointment through this website. To learn more about the equipment available to the EIU community at the CSI, such as our 3D printers or podcasting studio, start here.

The Faculty Development and Innovation Center hosts a series of workshops and a Teaching and Learning Community in the Active Learning Classroom.
