Cooper was awarded the funding to build an interdisciplinary maker space in 2018 after several departments collaborated on a grant proposal to the IDC Foundation, a New York-based charitable organization that provides scholarships, fellowships, and grants to educational institutions for students in the design, engineering, and construction fields.
