Fostering Creativity

We believe that creativity and innovation work best when diverse and unexpected connections are fostered across student groups, faculty, and academic-professional boundaries. To further these connections, the Innovation Studies program sponsors a Makerspace to support creativity and student involvement across campus.

During 2024-2025, the Makerspace is open daily on the ground floor of Hinderlie on upper campus. The space is a self-service lounge that is part of the Hinderlie community. Use your card key to drop by anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., entering upstairs near the information desk. Please be sure to clean up any “creative messes” that you make, using the recycle and project bins. The space only works if you care for it!
