The Cooper Union is a rapidly developing ecosystem for entrepreneureship and innovation. The school is one of creators, something noticed and expanded upon by University Innovation Fellow Sharang Phadke. As an overview of the continuing plan for expanding this notion of creation on campus, the follwing six points will be the vision leading Cooper forward.
== 1) Maker Space ==
