Partnerships: How the Sharing Economy Helped Us Get a Makerspace

Faced with no public makerspace for campus, a library technology team that manages labs and software licensing and has recently grown to provide media studios, attempts to bridge the gap. But how, in the absence of capital, staff, space, and other significant limitations? Partnership off campus!

Outcomes: Understand the challenges to partnerships with off-campus creative spaces * Identify key university stakeholders, their requirements, and realistic timelines for each milestone * Articulate the value of creative off-campus partnerships to mitigate risk and limitations and scale up new labs and services
