  The University of Arizona supports several makerspaces, administered by various units, including Engineering, Health Sciences, Art, Architecture and the Libraries. This session will provide an overview of the development of a makerspace network, started between  the Library makerspace, CATalyst Studios,  the Engineering Design Center (EDC) in the College of Engineering, and the Health Sciences Design Makerspace in the College of Health Sciences. We will address successes, failures, and barriers with implementing a strategic alignment of training protocols, equipment purchases, and policies across these spaces. We started this network in an effort to increase transdisciplinary collaboration, to establish a shared knowledge base across the maker network, and foster communities of practice across and within these makerspaces. In the session we will provide specific examples, including the unification of 3D printer authorizations and the implementation of a shop management system (GRIT Automation) followed be a demonstration of these systems and an opportunity for participants to contribute to an asynchronous discussion on strategic de-siloing within their own institutions.
