In Bryant University’s Data Visualization Lab, students gain practical experience with the technology, tools, and applications used by data science and analytics professionals, such as 2D, 3D, and graph visualization, as well as virtual reality (VR) capabilities. This hands-on learning challenges students to transform complex data into comprehensible information that can then inform strategic decision-making.

The lab supports technology-driven courses, especially those focused on data visualization, and fosters experiential learning for the entire Bryant community. Open to students from all programs, the lab serves as a collaborative space where students can explore its many resources.

Together, the Data Visualization Lab, Data Science Lab, and Artificial Intelligence Lab form the Data Science hub within the Business Entrepreneurship Leadership Center. Through the space’s active-learning classrooms, students and faculty can explore the transformative potential of data science and AI in business.
