Advancing the frontiers of scientific discovery

EXP facilities spark discovery

Our leading-edge facilities at EXP advance research in many fields, from drug discovery to robotics and wireless communications. Find a range of specialized equipment and facilities that can level up your research, inspire your curiosity, and advance cross-disciplinary partnerships.

  • A two-story robotics high bay

    Equipped with a 12-ton, ceiling mounted crane, this facility accommodates large and/or heavy robots, as well as all types of autonomous and remote vehicles. 

  • Robotics dry research lab

    Researchers can use the space to work on robotic arms, assemble mechanical devices, and more, while nearby specialty shops enable laser cutting, 3D printing, and machining. 

  • NMR spectrometers

    The gold standard in analytical chemistry, this equipment can be used for applied research in fields like chemistry, biology, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and clean energy. 

  • Computational lab space

    The space provides faculty and students the resources to analyze large data sets, do machine learning, program robots, and more. 

  • Chemistry teaching labs

    These labs feature a variety of analytical instruments to identify, count, and examine the properties of molecules; isolate and purify compounds; and learn other chemistry techniques. 

At EXP’s makerspace, ideas become reality

What will you make? The sky’s the limit for the entire Northeastern community at our 15,000-square-foot makerspace, the largest across our global system of campuses. Located primarily on EXP’s second floor, the makerspace allows you to prototype, ideate, and fabricate. Use equipment for woodworking, sewing, machining, welding, 3D printing, laser cutting, audio-visual recording, risograph printing, and more.
