The innovationspace at Virginia Tech

I was thinking of how the campus seems sometime closed with many people not knowing that there is a campus and that there are students.

I read about this innovation space at Virginia Tech:
"The InnovationSpace is a multimedia computer lab open to the students, faculty, and staff of Virginia Tech, as well as the local general public, with the mission of providing assistance through free and open access to software, hardware, and specially-trained staff"

I like the idea that its a space open to all within the university but also to the local general public.
They even have students led workshops: http://spacecamp.is.vt.edu/!
