Makerspace (L109, Fall '18): The Library has received funding from the student Information Technology Commission (ITC) and the Student Office of Sustainability (SOS), enabling us to begin development of a makerspace. We invite feedback and suggestions from you regarding equipment and technology that would benefit your students (email Dan Hillis). Though not available to reserve for classes (due to funding restrictions), the space will be available for use by students and faculty. Initially, the space will contain a 3D printer, laser cutter, sewing machines, a variety of tools, art supplies, robotics kits, and more.
More than a space, ‘makerspace’ is a concept, and includes the following:
Virtual Reality (VR) Room (L105, Summer '18): funded by the student Information Technology Commission (ITC), the Library is implementing a VR Room and is currently outfitting it with educational applications.
