Dudley Knox Library Design Sp@ce
DKL's Lower Level has become the perfect spot for a "human centered design maker space" where people can brainstorm, with "props" to help them think outside the box and "shape" new ideas and concepts via prototyping. The DKL Design Sp@ce features: giant whiteboards, electronic whiteboards, sticky notes, building blocks, pipe cleaners and clay — in a setting that promotes rearranging the furniture and thinking outside the box as part of the process of prototyping ideas.
Our Design Space is located in the lower level of the library. No reservations necessary, this space is available for whatever you want. Contact Eleanor Uhlinger with questions.
