MakerSpace Fuels Creativity

CSU’s Dan T. Moore MakerSpace is officially open for business, enhancing Engaged Learning opportunities and helping produce “Ready-to-Go” engineers to meet industry needs.

The 6,400-square-foot MakerSpace in the Washkewicz College of Engineering features state-of-the-art prototyping, design and fabrication technology to assist students in transforming their ideas into practical applications. The space houses high-resolution 3D printers and scanners, computer-aided manufacturing equipment, digital fabrication tools, laser engraving and cutting machines, and tools for testing and designing electronic devices.

The innovative space was made possible by a generous donation from Dan T. Moore, a member of the CSU board of trustees since 2008. An industrialist and entrepreneur, he has been starting businesses as president of the Dan T. Moore Co. since 1979. He currently serves as chairman of eight companies, each with its own proprietary edge.

“It is my hope that this MakerSpace will fuel a culture of creativity and entrepreneurship that pervades the entire CSU campus,” says Moore.
