INdependent. INterdisciplinary. IMPACTful.

This is where
innovatorsare built.

A student-driven ecosystem to learn, build, research, compete, publish, patent, and launch ideas that shape the future.

Building 39 / Innovation Studio / LPU

The building is where the idea becomes real.

Step through the doors and raw briefs become prototypes through mentoring, bench work, testing and launch reviews.

What we offer

Eight ways the studio backs your work.

Mentors, machines, filings and floor space — the support layer that turns a half-formed idea into something demonstrable.

  • 01Project GuidanceMentors on rotation to scope, review and de-risk every student project.
  • 02Research SupportLiterature, methodology, data and publication help — from draft to journal.
  • 03IPR & Patent AssistancePrior-art searches, drafting support and filing assistance for student inventions.
  • 04Technical Competition PreparationBuild sprints, mock reviews and travel support for national and global contests.
  • 05Technological Advancement GuidanceGuidance on emerging stacks — AI, embedded, additive manufacturing and more.
  • 06Drone & Robotics WorkshopsHands-on workshops on airframes, autonomy, manipulation and control.
  • 07Workspace for Student Projects & ResearchDedicated benches, storage and test rigs for long-running team projects.
  • 08Open 24x7The studio floor never closes — build whenever the idea shows up.
