Project Statement

؜With students and theater staff making use of the facilities and not putting things back where they belong, the Nuvu shop is a hectic place. As a result, tools are disorganized, surfaces are cluttered, work is inefficient, and people are fed up. Our goal is to reorganize the shop to help fix these problems. If we succeed, the community will function more smoothly as a whole.

Why

؜We believe that keeping an organized shop will lead to a cleaner, more efficient workflow. It also promotes shop safety and accountability from the community to maintain organization. Additionally, keeping the shop tidy will prevent the necessity for multi-day cleaning processes.
