SenseLab, a multisensory laboratory, Joensuu
The University of Eastern Finland created a new type of research environment in which sensory stimuli can be studied systematically and cost‑effectively.
The adaptable laboratory was implemented within a campus building dating from the 1950s, ensuring that a limited budget supported the needs of the research while enabling realistic simulations of different consumption environments. The solutions emphasise resource efficiency and multifunctional use of space: a wall‑sized light‑emitting diode display, adjustable lighting, soundscapes and scent systems make it possible to create diverse environments, such as retail spaces or restaurants, within the same facility. The result is a pilot project that supports high‑level research and provides a scalable model for future research and learning environments.
