The Usability Center provides a fully equipped usability laboratory in which to conduct, observe, record, and analyze usability evaluation. The facility was made possible in part by a grant for the Kellogg Foundation.

The Center consists of a two-room suite with an evaluation room in which to conduct and record usability tests and an observation room in which to monitor recording equipment and make real-time observations about the user's experience. Proposed changes to the Usability Center would allow for higher quality data collection in the form of digital video and audio recording and editing, and improve data analysis and reporting processes.

The Center provides a means for growth of usability activities in the client organization. It serves as a gateway to the School's other resources including classes, workshops, and special events. Faculty represent a wide range of accumulated knowledge, and students provide both a trained resource and a pool of evaluation participants.
