Amidst all the discussions andactivities that went into the reorganization process, the UT Arlington libraries’ leadership made astrategic commitment that the libraries would provide transformational learning experiencesthrough Creation, eXploration, and Innovation (CXI – which became the libraries’ hedgehogconcept). As a result of this, the leadership team identified certain goals which were to be theframework through which the libraries were supposed to achieve the hedgehog -- one of whichwas the building of a FabLab in the library. The paper will address the following: why the librarychose to build a “FabLab” and not a “makerspace”, and some of the various activities that wereundertaken to make the beta version of the lab a reality. It will also highlight the efforts made toreach out to faculty, specifically faculty in the College of Engineering, to encourage them tointegrate various hands-on learning activities in their courses, and get them to use the FabLab asa space to apply and reinforce classroom learning. The paper will also discuss the long-termvision for the lab.
