State of the Lab Summer 2026

The SAL website is currently under construction! Content should be up to date, but please reach out with questions or if you can’t find something.

The SAL (Sabin-Reed 104) is open during the Clark Science Center building hours. The SAL Annex, our smaller space in Neilson 012D, is open during the Neilson Library building hours to anyone with a valid OneCard.

You’re welcome to work on any open computers, use the light table, check out books from our lending library, and explore the map cases.

Check out the SALendar to see when the lab is in use and to find out about events, drop-in help hours, and more. For SAL updates, subscribe to the mapmonsters listserv by emailing mapmonsters-join@div3lists.smith.edu.
