Usability lab is essential for UCD study. In DMU, there is a professional usability study environment. You can launch UCD methods in this lab such as interview, focus group and etc. The space is sound proof and allocated in a very quiet school corner.
As you can design your own layout and employ necessary equipments to fit your assessment needs. For example, you can arrange focus group to a set of sofa area, or if you need to assess the usability of web UI, you can set up a table and a chair.
Nevertheless, relying on just the usability room will not make you become a UCD expert. A good UCD study requires not only a good space and tools, but also a well-planned proposal for assessment.
