Giving students and faculty room to explore and create

No project is too big or small, too simple or too out there. The Makerspace is a self-chosen community that encourages creativity and critical problem solving in all their unique iterations.

This page shares the exciting outcomes of this community's efforts.

Capturing creativity and learning from all angles

The Makerspace and University Libraries have partnered with groups across campus to push the limits of our equipment.

Wooden 3D prototype of the transmission system between Marlette Lake and Virginia City.

Quill Redesigned – Marlette Lake to Carson

Patrick Dawson, Thomas Purvis, Logan Smedes
Created in 2023

This 3D prototype was created as a civil and environmental engineering senior capstone project. This prototype was featured during Innovation Day 2023. This prototype displays a re-design of the transmission system to move water from Marlette Lake to Virginia City. This prototype is of the topography of the region and was CNCed in the DeLaMare Library Makerspace.

Created in 2023

This 3D prototype was created as a mechanical engineering senior capstone project. This prototype was featured during Innovation Day 2023. This prototype is a thermos that holds at least 16 fluid ounces and can be used on the go to heat water or beverages up to boiling temperatures. This prototype was 3D printed in the DeLaMare Library Makerspace.

Loneliness among the Landforms

Luke Rizzotto
Created in 2022

Throughout the landscape, there are mountains that rise from flat terrain, imposing upon the surrounding area, unconnected to any range or belt. These mountains, despite inhabiting vastly different environments and histories, are bound together by their shared name - Lone Mountain. I invite the viewer to ponder the space between these places and experience what makes these mountains lone. These pieces are representations of the 3D topographical prints that were CNCed out of 2-inch pink insulation foam. In addition there were field recordings, animation and sound.
