The mission of the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is to re-energize design and manufacturing innovation at the national level, honing the integrated set of skills students will need to create an abundant, sustainable future.
Jacobs Hall is a new 24,000 square foot innovation hub for the University of California, Berkeley, College of Engineering. It provides a variety of flexible “maker spaces” that foster interdisciplinary, collaborative creativity. Located at the north edge of campus, the new building is designed as a gateway to the University and a beacon of sustainable innovation that reflects the core values of the University and the Institute.
