The best Two Point Campus upgrades and how to use Research Labs

Want to know what the best Two Point Campus upgrades are? As you progress through the management game's campaign, you'll soon unlock the ability to research upgrades for your university. These are generally items in existing rooms that you can then assign a janitor to, as long as they have the engineering skill, to improve their capabilities.
The best Two Point Campus upgrades are the Omni-Cure, Training Pod, Lectern, and Research Hub. These allow you to treat your sick undergrads faster to improve their happiness, train your teachers quickly, gather research points more efficiently, and ensure students get better grades from lessons whenever they're in a lecture theatre. Other upgrades are too subject-specific or, in the case of the Green Screen, a little bit niche to warrant your attention.
How to research Two Point Campus upgrades
Once you have built your first Research Lab, you need to have at least one teacher assigned to work there. Click on the Research Hub in the centre of the room, then select the 'start new project' option. There are two research categories: academic and commercial.
You can unlock the upgrades you need to improve your university by commissioning academic research. You'll need to spend a small greenlight fee to get things going, but it will take a long time unless your teachers have a high researcher skill level. To help speed up progress, you can assign up to eight researchers at once to work on projects by clicking on the Research Lab room and increasing the number of staff.
After completing the research, click on the item you wish to upgrade and select the option with a cog with an upward arrow. You'll need to pay a hefty sum, but any janitor with engineering skills can apply the upgrade.

When you have finished as much of the research as you can, let your teachers generate a new project. These unlock commercial projects, and you can begin to earn a large sum of money in return. Just like with academic research, there are sometimes requirements to start the research, which is usually a set number of teachers that know specific subjects, and there will be a small greenlight fee to pay before your teachers can begin.
Thankfully, that's all you need to know about Two Point Campus upgrades, as there are plenty of other more crucial things you need to consider. These include raising how much Kudosh you have or how attractive your campus is. If you're just starting the campaign, check out our Two Point Campus guide for more tips and tricks.
