The Foisie Innovation Studio (FIS) will be a student-centric building and thus, the students’ voices should be represented in its planning. The team - did so throughout the design phase by homing in on three main sections of the building: the makerspace, the collaboration space, and the global impact space. Recommendations were developed for each of these and for the FIS as a whole. These recommendations include some aspects of the design of the building, and also capture how the students will be using the space and programs that will help bring students into the building.
