[Community] [IMC] Fwd: IMC Space

[Chris Ritzo]

I agree Belden. There are several spaces where this offer could be
incredibly helpful:
- Media Production room/Print desk: Brian Duggan and Carly have already been
working on plans to redo the desks & storage
- WRFU automation cabinet: Carly and Meme are moving forward with this, but
coud get help & materials
- Library & public computing: desks for public computers with secure
computer storage; desks, seating, flexible storage for library & other areas
to replace the handme downs we currently use

I'm copying the Community Connections group on this since it served as a
funneling point for several groups of interns this spring. We might use the
same model with this request. Working groups have projects they need done,
outside departments, professors, etc. need a single point of contact. Anyone
have objections to this or other ideas?

As we get more involvement with departments, it would be great to formalize
the arrangement at the department level with Architecture, Media Studies, &
other depts on campus whose instructors, students & classes want to have
community engagement experiences with the IMC.
