Cornell Tech celebrates opening of new MakerLAB in the Tata Innovation Center
Cornell Tech leadership, alongside elected officials, faculty, students, staff, and the Roosevelt Island community, hosted an official ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the campus’s new MakerLAB on May 2.
The MakerLAB facility, now located on the first floor of Cornell Tech’s Tata Innovation Center, serves as an accessible production hub for Cornell Tech students and faculty to bring their ideas to life. From 3D printing prototypes of medical devices to designing sustainable buildings and communities, the infrastructure allows startups to refine their products, students to gain hands-on experience creating real solutions to common problems, and faculty to advance their research.
Special guests included Congressman Jerry Nadler, New York City Council Member Julie Menin, New York City Economic Development Corporation Head of Innovation Jon Schulhof, and Queens Deputy Borough President Ebony Young. All of these leaders visited the campus to see how the student research is connected to the booming New York City tech ecosystem, as well as the capabilities of the facility.
