Autodesk, a leading software company, donated $4.3 million to Cornell University to establish and support two "design and make" spaces within its architecture and engineering colleges. Each college will receive $2 million and an additional $150,000 for discretionary expenses. This initiative was driven by alumni executives Jeff Kinder and Amy Bunszel. The newly named spaces aim to enhance student access to technology and resources vital for creative projects and research, fostering experiential learning and helping to equip students with modern skills needed in the fields of architecture and engineering.
"At AAP, teaching, research and learning thrive in environments that scaffold creativity, innovation and iteration and encourage fluidity between digital and analog techniques," said J. Meejin Yoon.
"The Autodesk Design and Make Space in Cornell Engineering is an investment in the future of experiential learning in our college that impacts students collegewide," said Lynden Archer.
