Their experience can make it easier to accomplish certain steps. Seeking help from a Dean can bridge the gap between the schools of business, engineering, arts and sciences. The faculty can bring new ideas to the space and spread the word to their students. Don’t be afraid to ask faculty about their opinions on the space, they can be helpful in making it more efficient. When pitching the makerspace to faculty make sure to align the goals of the space with the mission goals of your university. Make the space clearly beneficial to the college. One warning that comes with seeking faculty help is to always be on top of things. The new makerspace will not be a professor’s or dean’s priority, therefore if you know that you can get something done faster - do it.</span></span>
