Sponsored by the Office of Distance Education and eLearning (ODEE) Affordable Learning Exchange grant program, the Scrapbrary project invited students to design a communal resource center intended for design students. The goal of the project was to design a rolling cart model capable of organizing leftover materials from design students. In that sense, this product-service-system project promoted sustainability, affordability, and belonging using a shared economy model. The central touchpoints of the service were six rolling carts to be distributed in each design studio within Hayes Hall.
