The project will most likely use equipment already on campus, however new equipment may have to be bought. There will also need to be a space carved out, as well as time dedicated to building teaching students how to use equipment and maintaining monitoring the space.</span></span></li>

The last attempt got approved, but due to unforeseen circumstances, has been put on hold indefinitely. What makes this project different than the others is that a makerspace is only one part of the whole project. The general idea is to foster innovation beyond just 3D Printing and other makerspace tools. We want to expand this project to other fields of study, so anyone can create anything they want. This project will create a space that allows anyone to be creative and innovative, and in turn generate an innovative feeling all throughout our community.</span></span></li>
