Research and Digital Creativity
The library offers cutting-edge digital labs available to all our members, as well as guidance and services for anyone producing or supporting open research at York.
Our Digital labs
We have two labs in the Fairhurst and both are open to all students and staff to use. The easiest way to remember the difference is that the Creativity Lab focuses on software: high-end gaming workstations, with access to Virtual Reality (VR) equipment and other emerging technologies. YorCreate is all about hardware: a maker-space with 3D printers and other tools.


...a fantastic, inspiring intro to VR! Sam is such a knowledgeable and delightful facilitator/teacher! He turned the whole session into a fun and interesting experience.

Supporting open research
Open research practice enables a wide range of audiences to freely discover and engage with our excellent research, makes the research process transparent, and creates new opportunities for outputs and methods to be reused, reproduced and credited.
