On this UVA Speaks podcast, Melissa Goldman, Lab Manager in UVA’s School of Architecture, talks about the Fabrication Labs. The Lab’s mission is to provide an inclusive space where students, staff, and faculty can learn through practice by using the tools and techniques of making, prototyping, and crafting across the different disciplines of architecture. Goldman also speaks about MakerGrounds, a network of UVA shops, labs, and maker spaces across Grounds open to the UVA community and the Milton LandLab, a 172-acre experimental landscape space. Listen in to hear about examples of the small and large-scale products and projects created in these dynamic spaces.
