Getting Started for New Users

Welcome to the SMART Labs!

The SMART Network is home to over 100 pieces of specialized equipment and tools that are open for groups and individuals to use after being trained by skilled members of our team. SMART Labs was created to make it easier to access the equipment and tools from the many facilities of the SMART Network by bringing everything together in one place. What makes the SMART Labs unique is the access to multidisciplinary tooling in the same facility.
