Campus Co-Lab provides a process that students and staff can use to implement their ideas to enhance the student experience. The service initially was set up at the end of 2015 on Massey's Wellington campus by students and Student Services staff with a vision to include more of students' input into a decision making about student experience.
Campus Co-Lab's mission
To make 'what ifs' happen and to build a better Massey community.
How we work
At Campus Co-Lab we work with others to bring ideas to life to improve our community and way of working at Massey University.
To implement project we use student-centred design thinking and iterative processes to validate and test problems, ideas and assumptions. Our aim is to have students' buy-in from day one and make sure projects will be implemented into business as usual for Massey University.
The way we work is always evolving, but through the adoption of the Co-Lab principles we adhere to a certain way of working with the students and staff of Massey University.

The Campus Co-Lab process
The Campus Co-Lab Principles
Here at Campus Co-Lab we share Massey University’s aspirations to be a Te Tiriti o Waitangi-led, learning centred community, which changes lives through scholarship (teaching and research), enabling students and staff to be the best they can be.
- Students are involved throughout the whole process, from beginning to end. This can take many forms including feedback on prototypes, structured observations and actively involving them in the project.
- Everyone that leads or collaborates on a Campus Co-Lab project is treated equally regardless whether they are student or staff. Their role at the institute does not determine the role they play in a Campus Co-Lab project.
- Any idea is a good idea. If the idea fits within the Campus Co-Lab's scope then it will be given an opportunity to be developed. It is the students' needs and the viability of the project that determine how the project progresses.
- The final outcome may not be the same as the initial idea's vision as the Campus Co-Lab process is iterative and student focused. The idea then has the potential to morph into something more relevant and substantial for students.
- Failure is part of the Campus Co-Lab process. The Campus Co-Lab recognises failure as a tool that influences the development of a project and the evolution of a great idea.
- More heads are better than one. Solutions are reached together and diversity in project members provides a richness to solutions.
- The Campus Co-Lab will provide equal opportunity for people to participate in projects.
- The Campus Co-Lab assigns at least one facilitator to each project.
