Supply Studio

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

Created as a Living Lab project, the Supply Studio is located across the street from the Art Building in the Science and Education Center, room 158a, and is a collaboration between the School of Art + Design and the Campus Sustainability Office.

the Campus Sustainability Office is tracking incoming and outgoing supplies to measure the impacts of the space on the campus community—estimating both the money it saves and the environmental impacts it avoids compared with buying new items. The Supply Studio is open whenever the building is open, and is free for the entire PSU community to use.

Students were involved in the entire process of establishing the Supply Studio—from developing the idea after participating in a waste audit of the art building through instructor Chris North’s class, to designing the logo and promotional materials, collecting and curating donations, and coordinating events in the space.


Which of the following impact areas does the innovation most closely relate to? (select up to three):
