GeoLab is dedicated to the Geology and Geography of Arkansas and the intersection of science, art, and society. This installation stands as a tribute to the tireless efforts of those who push the boundaries of human creativity and imagination. GeoLab invites us to step outside and marvel at the natural world and reminds us that there is always more to discover, learn, and create. May this place inspire generations to come.

The GeoLab is located in the Gearhart Hall courtyard at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Featured are 26 rock samples from across the state of Arkansas, including those from the South Central Plains, the Ouachita Mountains, the Arkansas Valley, and the Ozark Highlands.
