ALERT Welcome to Pitt’s iLab System!
Pitt’s iLab is integrated with our single sign-on and billing systems, linking faculty and staff grants to reserved time and services.
As of October 2025, we have 33 shared research facilities online and expect to have 38 by the end of 2025!
Important: The department field for all Pitt employees has been standardized using a naming convention. Please do not modify this field, as it is essential for building templates that enable automated reporting.
Please review our new Shared Facilities webpage and the iLab training material available in the “Using Core Facilities” section.
