This is our most popular and satisfying tour for those interested in learning about all of our resources. (30-60 min)
Tour Plus – an enhanced tour with additional demonstrations in one or more of our resource areas.
Orientation – training in a specific resource area, usually driven by a class assignment or other academic need. We offer daily orientations in many of our spaces which may suit your needs (see below).
