Founded in 2022, The Fuller Initiative Land Lab (FILL) operates as an “innovation landscape” to support trans-disciplinary field experiments and experiential learning in urban ecology.  This initiative follows recent trends in Landscape Architecture education that use the campus as the subject of research, and as testing ground for material experimentation. The Land Lab concept emerged as a way to bring Overlook pedagogy to campus after the 2020 “Experiment” field school was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Located on a former quarry and landfill, the FILL serves as an outdoor classroom for the Overlook seminar to “learn through making” – with a distinct focus on ecological and aesthetic education. Thanks to a long-standing partnership with UO Campus Planning and Facilities Management, students are able to design, test, and install temporary installations at the lab, and exhibit their work to the larger Eugene community that uses the Willamette River Natural Area. The FILL is managed by Lab Director, Michael Geffel.
