University of South Carolina Maker Space

A 9,000 sf upfit of an existing industrial arts building into a “Maker’s Space” for engineering students involved in project-based learning. The design features a “Connect” space for students to meet, interact, and learn about engineering opportunities. The “Collaborate” space features a flexible layout with operable partitions and group tables for design development. The “Create” space includes 6 rentable bays with workbenches. Tools and student projects are stored in rolling carts to allow for maximum flexibility. At the center of the space is a 20’ tall drone cage used for aerodynamic testing.
