For universities juggling limited bench space, equipment costs, and growing enrollment, this shift isn&#8217;t just convenient, it&#8217;s often what makes expanded research and teaching programs possible at all, especially as enrollment grows faster than physical facilities can expand. This article looks at what these labs actually are, the benefits they bring to universities, and how PraxiLabs fits into that picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89
