By: Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham, Senior Campus Planner, University of Massachusetts | Heather Taylor, Campus Planner and Architect, Phillips Exeter Academy | Shira Epstein, Director of Campus Maker Spaces, University of Massachusetts

Amid the pandemic, makers on campuses across the world have pitched in by crafting 3-D printed face shields, ventilator components, and other life-saving innovations. The value of the maker movement is apparent; but how do we adjust maker spaces to a quarantined, social-distancing world? SCUP members Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham and Heather Taylor moderated this discussion.
