Using The Lab
Who We Are
Students can come to Speakers Lab to get help with speeches and
presentations, both individual and group. Speakers Lab can help
your students refine their topic, organize their research, and
effectively present their speech. After that, Speakers Lab can even
review the finished presentation with your students to help them do
even better next time.
Speakers Lab can help your
students with their presentations from beginning to end!
Location and Hours
Butler University Speakers Lab has two locations to serve your
students' needs: Fairbanks 140 and Fairbanks 250.
Speakers Lab encourages you to work closely with the peer tutor
of your choice--to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.
Please note: scheduling conflicts may arise, so another tutor may
substitute.
Also, please be aware that Speakers Lab closes for holidays and
breaks in the academic year. Plan ahead and contact Speakers Lab if
you have any questions. Speakers Lab will attempt to accommodate
your needs, but it is always best to plan ahead.
The Speakers Lab has centralized operations in the Richard M.
Fairbanks center for communication and Technology. The lab's two
facilities, FB 140 and FB 250, are available to meet your
needs.
Scheduling Appointments
To schedule an appointment, students can sign up outside of the
lab rooms located in FB 140 and FB 250.

difficulties by phone during normal operating hours. If necessary,
tutors can schedule appointments for students.
Other reminders for your students:
- Groups may only schedule on the hour for the whole hour.
- Speakers Lab does not accept appointments by e-mail.
