''Project by Faculty Innovation Fellows Candidate [[Faculty Champion:Mirna Mattjik|Mirna Mattjik]]''

===Why is this project important to you, your department, & your Fellows? ===
To develop the Honors program around innovation, we need a space that will be a home for honors students, a connector to the whole university, and that fosters creativity and ingenuity.

===Description ===
Our desire is for a brick-and-mortar Honors living and learning center with housing, classrooms, collaboration space, maker space, and faculty offices that is net zero on energy and (preferably) a living building. Failing a new building, however, we will work to repurpose other space on campus and incorporate virtual spaces as well (a central area that has a maker space but also a tech hub for collaboration and innovation).


===Stakeholders served===
# Honors students, students across campus who are interested in innovation
# UI Fellows, Millennium Fellows
# Faculty from every college (but champions particularly in Engineering, Building Management, Environmental Science, Public Health, Biology)
# Honors alumni
# Dean’s Council
# Local advocates of sustainability

===Key Milestones===
* December 2020: Key stakeholders consulted--dean’s council, faculty champions, students, alumni, architect
* March 2021: Cohort of UN Millennium Fellows to focus on sustainability on campus

* December 2021: New/revised building plan developed; alternately new campus space undergoing renovation and technology purchased
