Serendipity Lab is 71 North Partnership Studio’s community-building program. Some of the best ideas you’ll have start as a hallway conversation with someone you weren’t looking for — Serendipity Lab exists to make those moments happen on purpose, by creating the conditions where meaningful relationships, unexpected conversations, and interdisciplinary collaboration can flourish.

What You’ll Find Here

This is the home for our studio projects that put human connection first. Come for a book, a conversation, or an evening away from your screen; stay because you met someone working on something you didn’t know you cared about.

Why Serendipity

• Connection across majors, departments, and career stages — not just your own corner of campus
• Low-pressure, drop-in formats where showing up once is enough
• Conversation and community as the point, not a side effect of a project
• A place for the studio work that isn’t about technology

Serendipity Lab is also the future home of our projects with less of a tech focus, so expect this space to grow.
