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 April 2026, we have 36 shared research facilities online with more expected to onboard throughout 2026.  

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.
