The lower level was transformed into an adaptable, light-filled space for students, entrepreneurs, and the engineering department. The design included a maker space focused on hands-on learning, experimentation, and design. Visual connections were maintained throughout the space with full-height frame-less glass and counter-height glazing.

The maker space was designed to evolve with technology and student-driven uses, featuring a variety of seating options such as lounge areas, study benches, tall tables, and work benches, all with close proximity to electrical connections. The space was made inclusive with barrier-free seating options and transparent materials to minimize physical and perceptual boundaries.
