This paper will present a review of university maker spaces
compiling operational models (e.g., student-run, lab technician-run,
faculty-run), pedagogical integration (e.g., capstone requiring use of Maker
Spaces), and administrative details (e.g., budgeting, safety, and oversight).
Based on this review of university maker spaces, a discussion will describe
common trends, advances and innovations, and perceived benefits to the
university community. The goal of this paper is to create a baseline of
current state-of-the-art with respect to university maker spaces.
