The Idea Realization Lab is a resource available to the entire DePaul University community, and now — as a leader in the Illinois PPE Network — a location for the fabrication and funding of PPE and other COVID-related resources. We provide machines, tools, and materials at no cost, and offer workshops to teach visitors how to use the equipment safely. Our goal is to foster a spirit of collaboration and to promote creativity across the campus and throughout the city of Chicago.
