Groups of students and faculty members from across disciplines collaborated to find immediate responses to the needs of health care professionals at GW Hospital. The group represented the Corcoran School of Art and Design, School of Engineering and Applied Science, GW Hospital, the GW Innovation Center, student organization George Hacks and others—who worked together to develop and manufacture much needed protective gear and protocols. Using a 3-D printing farm, they produced 200 face shields in under a week. 

“Across the university, across disciplines and across programs, there's a group of really energetic people who are hustling to deal with COVID-19,” said James Huckenpahler, an adjunct digital lab instructor in the Corcoran.
