The PRO lab connects the creative power of Cornell's design students and faculty with real-world challenges facing local organizations, to shape mutually-beneficial educational experiences.
The lab builds a sustainable infrastructure for reciprocity by
transforming learning into tangible action,
academic research into public value,
and isolated projects into trusted community partnerships.

The PRO lab was established to provide continuity for existing community relationships, further project outcomes beyond coursework, and build new partnerships for the future.
As a body of institutional knowledge, the lab also develops grants, disseminates research publications, and maintains a resource library to support the successful involvement of all students and faculty in its mission.
