Mobility Lab Campus (MLC)

Innovación, colaboración e impulso a la movilidad sostenible desde la Escuela de Ingeniería de Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Presentación

La Escuela de Ingeniería de Vitoria-Gasteiz ha puesto en marcha el Mobility Lab Campus (MLC), un espacio concebido para experimentar, aprender y cocrear soluciones de movilidad sostenible.

Gracias a la financiación recibida, se ha remodelado parte del sótano de la Escuela, habilitando seis áreas diferenciadas que conforman un entorno innovador, flexible y abierto al futuro.

El MLC es un proyecto vivo: evoluciona con las necesidades de la sociedad, anticipa los retos de la movilidad y conecta a personas, disciplinas y sectores distintos.

Valores

El Mobility Lab Campus se articula en torno a tres valores fundamentales:

Movilidad: motor de transformación que impulsa un campus y una ciudad más sostenibles.

Conocimiento compartido: fruto de la colaboración entre la comunidad universitaria, empresas e instituciones.

Colaboración interdisciplinar: punto de encuentro donde convergen ingeniería, diseño, arte, tecnología y sociedad.

Los 6 espacios del MLC

Cada espacio tiene una función específica, orientada a la formación, la innovación y la colaboración:

MLC1 – Universidad-Empresa I: cooperación estratégica con el tejido productivo.

MLC2 – Universidad-Empresa II: impulso y ampliación de proyectos conjuntos con empresas.

MLC3 – Movilidad y Logística: entorno para desarrollar soluciones innovadoras en transporte, distribución y movilidad urbana.

MLC4 – Emprendimiento: espacio donde se impulsan iniciativas como Formula Student y Moto Student, que combinan talento, pasión y tecnología.

MLC5 – Investigación y Proyectos: área destinada al desarrollo de proyectos de I+D+i y a la innovación aplicada.

MLC6 – Calibración de Sensores: laboratorio técnico especializado en sensórica y validación de prototipos.

Identidad visual

El Mobility Lab Campus no solo es un lugar de trabajo y experimentación, sino también un espacio con personalidad propia.
Su identidad visual se ve reforzada por la integración de obras de arte que aportan una dimensión cultural y estética, convirtiéndolo en un entorno único e inspirador.

Colaboraciones

El MLC cuenta con la colaboración de instituciones públicas, empresas y asociaciones, consolidándose como un nodo de cooperación estratégica que potencia la transferencia de conocimiento y la innovación.

Impacto y beneficios

El Mobility Lab Campus genera un impacto positivo en distintos niveles:

Estudiantes: formación práctica y multidisciplinar en contacto con la realidad profesional.

Empresas: acceso a innovación aplicada y posibilidad de realizar pruebas piloto.

Sociedad: contribución directa al avance de una movilidad más sostenible en la ciudad y en el territorio.

2.- Description

North Gallery of the EIVG Mobility Lab Campus

The North Gallery is the symbolic starting point of the Mobility Lab Campus - MLC. Before entering the MLC workspaces, visitors and members of the lab pass through this bright staircase-corridor, conceived not as a gallery of the past, but as a guide to the future.
The North Gallery expresses a fundamental idea in the lab's philosophy: research not only responds to the present, but also guides the path to come.

The placement of this work at the lab's entrance is no coincidence. It is a visible statement of the EIVG's commitment to innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and public responsibility.

Passing through this space each day, researchers are reminded that their work is part of a shared project, with long-term goals and a collective impact.

This mural doesn't represent what has already been achieved, but what is hoped to be achieved. Each of the paintings in the gallery evokes potential breakthroughs—in energy, mobility, technology, or society—that don't yet exist, but could be born in this very place.

More than a work of art, the North Gallery is a cognitive and emotional tool. A permanent invitation to think about what doesn't yet exist. A clear sign that research isn't just done here: the future is imagined here.

The North Gallery is a space to visualize the future of science. It is an architectural and conceptual proposal that turns a hallway into a compass. It is not a gallery of past achievements, but a space to represent—visually, symbolically, and aspirational—work not yet achieved, but desired.

1. The First Step — Toward the North Gallery
Welcome to the Mobility Lab Campus (MLC)!
Before descending to our work areas, we begin here — in the North Gallery. This entrance to the MLC through the staircase, bathed in light and aligned with visions, is not a space of data or memory—but of direction/orientation. It is a mural of purpose. A constellation of imagined milestones. A visible image of a long road ahead.

2. A Mirror of the Future
What you see here is not the present. Each frame throughout the gallery represents something that might one day hang here: the crystallized results of the teams working below. Advances in sustainable transportation, urban systems, human-centered artificial intelligence, or clean energy could all find their place on these walls. These advancements will be presented not as decoration, but as public declarations of work that changed the way we move, live, and think.

3. It's More Than a Gallery — It's a North Star, a Direction
This isn't a gallery of what was. It's a compass toward what could be. We call it the North Gallery because north isn't a place—it's an orientation. Our researchers pass through this space every day. The paintings aren't labeled. They don't provide answers—they raise questions. They're invitations. Each MLC research team is asked: one day, what would we put here?

4. Designing Destiny in Community
In a time when science tends to fragment into specialties, this space recovers a sense of shared destiny. The work of a laboratory isn't built in solitude. It's created in collaboration—between disciplines, with cities, and in the face of global challenges. The North Gallery reminds us that we don't just move toward goals, but that we move together.

5. An Innovative Element in the Ontology of a Research Laboratory
The creation of the North Gallery goes beyond aesthetics. It is an innovative element in the ontology of a research laboratory—an architectural concept converted into a cognitive tool. It embodies a purpose. It unites collective imagination, mission, and vision. It does not represent an archive of past achievements, but a framework for the future that does not yet exist.

6. A Public Commitment
This is also a message for visitors: students, citizens, public officials, partners from other universities. These illuminated panels are not fiction: they are promises in the making. They say: “We believe this work matters.” “That science should be visible, and also moving.” “That technology should soar with beauty and clarity.”

7. Enter! The Mobility Lab Campus
And now we invite you to walk with us—not just into the basement that houses our laboratories, but into the profound architecture of an idea: that mobility is not just about moving, but about making sense. That research is not just about production, but about guidance. That the best laboratories don't just solve problems—they light the way.
