The program and *Program task team would have documented a document network of spaces on campus and their availability, which could be seen through a *Interface: map interface on the system. If no space exists, students can contact mDIL (Maryland Design Impact Lab) and request a task team to design a temporary flex-space. This method would thereby provide a need and direction for students looking for innovation space that may not be part of an existing start up, or part of the Engineering or business school. In addition, this service will also give mDIL interdisciplinary design teams the opportunity to practice applying their developing ideation, fabrication and implementation skillsets to address a need.</span>*'''Team Leader: ''' Open Position – Team Leader TBD*'''Milestones:'''
