CreatorsLAB

The CreatorsLAB is ECU’s new space for collaboration, creativity, and innovation at the heart of the City Campus.

Located on the ground floor on the corner of Wellington Street and Yagan Square Mall, this dynamic space brings together advanced technology, flexible design, and hands-on learning to enable ideation, basic prototyping, and the showcasing of ideas.

What can I do there?

Be the first to discover the CreatorsLAB through our Excite Program, the first phase of activation for the space. Designed specifically for ECU staff and students, the Excite program will show you what’s possible with the latest tools and guidance from subject matter experts.

From learning how to build with agentic AI, to storytelling workshops for extended reality, CreatorsLAB activities run throughout the week with something for everyone - no experience required.

Discover ECU's new creative innovation studio on one of our CreatorsLAB tours. More than a room of technology, the CreatorsLAB is part of an ecosystem for innovation. It will connect ECU’s community with Perth’s growing creative and technology sectors, strengthen partnerships with global industry leaders, and showcase the distinctive intersection of creativity, business and technology that defines ECU’s city identity.

Available to both ECU staff and students, tours will include a walk-through of each CreatorsLAB ‘zone’ and their purposes; a demonstration of the digital media architecture installed; and provide an overview of the space’s functionality. The final component of the tour will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and share any ideas they have for activities that they'd like to see in the space after our the initial activation of the space - our Excite program - is complete in July 2026.
