Dakota State University is home to one of the nation’s most progressive cyber security and research education centers. When DSU needed a secure solution that would unite all of their cyber labs under one roof and create a transparent space for learning, JLG embarked on a paradox of virtual and physical design. The design solution created two distinct areas: one completely impenetrable, and the other completely transparent. DSU’s new Cyber Lab is now equipped for interactive and observational student experiences that will serve to advance the industry and accelerate graduates' careers.
