Welcome to the MILL!
The MILL is currently closed for summer recess. We will reopen on Monday, September 12th.
If you wish to use our space for classes or events, please read through our Facility Usage Requests page.
What is the MILL?
The Materials Innovation and Learning Laboratory (the MILL) was opened in 2016 as the first-ever undergraduate-run make-and-measure space primarily dedicated to Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). We strive to serve as a hub for experiential education in MSE by providing hands-on scientific training with common equipment used in the discipline, nurturing the student staff to become engineering leaders, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across campus. We currently house over 30 pieces of equipment commonly found in both the materials industry and research labs — ALL of which is freely accessible to ALL GT students, faculty, and staff. Learn more about us here.
COVID-19 Response: Summer 2022 Update
The MILL is requiring all users to wear a face covering in our facilities as a part of our PPE. Non-vaccinated individuals are highly encouraged to register for a free vaccine or booster appointment here.
Safety Requirements for all Users
All users are required to complete Georgia Tech’s Lab Safety 101 and Right to Know (RTK) training, both of which can be found here. Note that RTK certification expires every year, and Lab Safety expires every 3 years.
MILL users are also required to follow all PPE requirements for MILL facilities. These include:
- Long cotton pants
- Closed-toe shoes
- Safety goggles (available at the door)
- Face mask
Users are responsible for following any safety advisements made by MILL staffers and officers. Thanks for making the MILL a safe lab environment!
