About The Position

Learning Experience (LX) in Enterprise Technology aspires to make enterprise-wide technologies a multiplier of teaching, learning and discovery for all faculty and students. LX Space Design advances this aspiration by designing multimedia solutions in partnership with stakeholders that enable each space to fulfill its intended purpose.
