Cleveland-Pittsburgh-Harrisburg

This unassuming building is a Penn State University lab for the training of aspiring crime scene investigators that search for clues to solving mysteries every week. Crime scenes can be staged in any of the rooms of this real life, full scale laboratory.

Equipped with cameras and microphones throughout the house (and even outside), professors can monitor and record student observation skills.

Absent the physical presence of the professor, students work the crime scene, digging for the story told by the evidence. But the professors can hear and see everything, everywhere, and can even speak to the students as they work. It can be a little unnerving for the sleuths, but allows the teacher to be in many rooms at once.
