The Makerspace, located on the first floor of the library, has undergone renovations to accommodate students and new-comers alike in glorious fashion. Just this past year, faculty at SSU have decided to add brand-new 3D printers named Ultimakers, that can create larger prints.
For years, SSU students have used the Makerspace as a place to 3D print, do arts and crafts, embroider, label, and a whole lot more. Now that the library is open following the COVID-19 pandemic, students are welcomed back to the Makerspace safely as well. The Makerspace has always been known as a place to “dream, make, and innovate” on campus, but has been seemingly overlooked and undervalued for years. With new tools and upgrades, the library hopes to make the space a welcoming and exciting space for students to visit and let their creativity shine through.
