U-Serve 2016 Brought the Underline to Life
On March 30, the entire student body, plus faculty and staff, of UMSoA came together for an awareness and beautification project at three Metrorail stations: University, Coconut Grove and Brickell.
"The Underline began at UMSoA, in a studio run by professor Rocco Ceo. When we were trying to decide how the School should give back to the community this year, it was a perfect fit," said Dean Rodolphe el-Khoury. "We had already been working with Meg Daly, and the projects were made infinitely easier thanks to her assistance. I'd like to thank professor Steve Fett for his efforts in orchestrating the event and all of the faculty, staff and students who devoted a day to it."
"The value of U-Serve is that it is grass roots, community-based and visceral," said Meg Daly, President of the Friends of the Underline. "People got to see what could be along The Underline, from a Metrorail beach to performance art demonstrations, before we have put a shovel in the ground to start building."

Please Complete Fab Lab Survey of Final Review Needs
As the final review stage of the Spring semester approaches, the Fabrication Lab typically gets overwhelmed with student projects. To deter that from happening, the staff at the Lab, created a quick 3 question survey to better help the Fabrication Lab be prepared throughout this busy time. By knowing what studios require their assistance, they will be better able to plan and progress smoothly and produce student models in a timely manner. If your studio requires the use of the laser cutter or 3D Powder Printer, please fill out the survey below as soon as possible.
