IT Living Lab
The IT Living Lab performs testing on technology hardware and software solutions to figure out if the solutions can be used within a collegiate campus environment.
Dakota State’s Information Technology Services (ITS) will collaborate with DSU faculty and students on various projects to determine the viability of different technologies within a collegiate campus environment. In partnership with the PATRIOT lab, IT Living will also provide a test bed and showcase for in-home and commercial connected devices.
