introduction
What is an Innovation Lab?
An Innovation Lab is an adaptive and flexible space that facilitates teams of individuals to provide innovative ideas through the process of collaboration.
Innovation is the act of taking advantage of opportunities; introducing something new and different.
introduction
What is Innovation?
Collaboration is the act of culling together individuals to work collectively toward a shared goal.
introduction
What is Collaboration?
Why are organizations turning to collaboration to achieve innovation?
Productivity More innovative ideas are generated through collaboration.
Quality The quality of innovative ideas is increased through collaboration.
Efficiency More innovations are brought to production at a faster rate through collaboration.

Project brief
Purpose
Project brief
To develop a comprehensive design proposal for a collaborative innovation lab for SCAD’s Service Design department.
Vision
Project brief
• To deliver a cohesive design proposal• To create an adaptive, flexible, evolving space• To deliver at least one final, completed concept• To build a final process book• To create awareness about the Service Design program• To inform people about Service Design• To provide a vision for the future of the Service Design program • To identify the most effective and appropriate working
environments within a collaborative space

IPO Model
“[The biggest hindrance to] successful collaboration is the gap between the most important collaborative behaviors and participants’ abilities to engage in those behaviors.” Group Creativity
“The best learning occurs during unplanned and uncounted hours outdoors investigating, experimenting, exploring, and playing.” The Third Teacher
There are five stages to the collaborative process: preparation, time off, the spark, selection, and elaboration. Group Genius
“Creative teams require a chameleon ability to switch roles, and inhabit the other person’s mental space at the same times as keeping the perspective of their own.” Management and Creativity, Bilton
“Group performance can be enhanced if there is less cognitive interference and, instead, more cognitive stimulation.” Group Creativity
Physiological needs: safety, belonging/love, self-esteem, self-actualization; meeting these needs will subconsciously make users more open towards each other and towards collaboration.” The Third Teacher
Successful collaboration combines a variety of working spaces designed toward different needs. Managing Innovation, Design, and Creativity

People-Centered Research
“...it’s a good thing that service students have access to students with different backgrounds.” - Robert Bau
“This building [Gulfstream] is a broken system for education...It is sad: it’s drab, it’s gray, there’s no color, there’s no light. It’s just concrete and monotony.” - Michael Felix
Students strongly agree that accessibility to resources enhances innovation and collaborative processes.
Students like the casual ambiance coffee shops provide for informal communication during the collaborative process.
“...students are not learning how to collaborate before they run into a collaborative project.” - Robert Bau
“One of the challenges as a Service Designer is entering a project midway.” - Louis Baker
Students believe that sharing a space with multiple groups can affect their group focus and performance during the collaborative process.
More than half of students surveyed prefer using paper-based tools over digitally-based tools when working collaboratively.

Ethnographic Framework A-E-I-O-U
IThere is a lack of communication between graduate and undergraduate students.
Diverse cultures can contribute to collaboration challenges.
OStudents learn to adapt in the environment and use what is provided.
UThere is not enough experience in communication among students.
EInterior design is highly influential on the collaborative mood.
AStudents are often jumping from one collaborative project to another, sometimes within the same space.
Students work in small groups to quickly disperse tasks.
IMany design cultures are egalitarian.
Many spaces are set up to facilitate informal and spontaneous interactions.
OProfessional collaborative spaces are abundant with materials.
UCollaboration spaces and participants must be flexible, open, and transparent.
EOverbuilt & fixed collaborative spaces constrain process and productivity.
Collaborative spaces have the ability to refresh or depress the mood.
AOpen offices allow for spontaneous activities.
Students want their working environment to help them feel comfortable and be more productive while they work.
Student attitudes differ dramatically when it comes to collaboration.
Some students appreciate -or at least have an understanding of- the positive aspects involved in collaborative work.
Many students face-to-face networking more validating and effective than digital modes of communication.
Some students have inherently negative feelings about collaborative work.
Students feel that strong mutual feedback is critical to the service design culture, and that efforts to obtain quality feedback have often proved futile.
Students expressed a need for spaces to carry out specific tasks that take place during the design process.
Many students prefer “homey, comfortable, nest-like” settings when they work and feel more happy, creative, and productive in these environments.
Students would like exposure to informal learning opportunities and access to inspirational resources relevant to Service Design.
