MSU Libraries Makerspace Fund

MSU Libraries’ Selma D. & Stanley C. Hollander Makerspace is an active learning environment and gathering space that is open to students of all majors as well as all staff, faculty and community members. Since the events of February 13, the Makerspace has become a space for students to come together and build community through creation and the healing nature of art. Creativity is an innate part of humanity that helps us explore our emotions through art to recover, reflect, and rebuild. The Hollander Makerspace is an environment where our students and community can process their experiences through art.

Since February 13, we have hosted numerous sessions that allow students to make watercolors, create journals and design with perler beads. Students and other community members also continue to come to this space to use our 3D printers, sewing machines, laser cutter and other technologies for both class and personal projects.

Our mission is to encourage healing, community and cross-disciplinary collaboration through art and experimentation. The Hollander Makerspace provides students of all majors the opportunity to create, build friendships, and explore new technologies and activities.

Help MSU Libraries’ Makerspace continue programs that help Spartans heal.

This project aims to build a community where students can draw inspiration and find healing from artwork and time spent with their peers. Your gift will fund student workshops and programs such as water coloring, book and journal design, clothing repair, 3D design and more. Your gifts will also help purchase new equipment and materials to continue expanding Makerspace services.
