New STEAM Studio Pop-Up Planned at Rockhurst University Library
With its quiet atmosphere and stacks of source materials, the bottom floor of the Greenlease Library at Rockhurst University is a great place to study or do research. But it doesn’t necessarily strike one as a state-of-the-art design thinking and learning lab — yet.
Starting this summer, that section of the university’s library will be redesigned and outfitted with new furniture and technology like 3D printers as part of its transformation into a STEAM Studio pop-up.
The pop-up is an extension of the work already happening at the original space, not a replacement. It will be a shared workspace that can open a new range of possibilities and directions for STEAM Studio, including new educational partners close to campus, said Jennifer Friend, dean of the College of Health and Human Services at Rockhurst University who made the announcement Wednesday at the program’s annual luncheon.
