Our Space
The Maker Hub is located on the 1st floor of Lauinger Library. The space is small, only about 1,300 ft2, but we boast an impressive array of equipment. The use of equipment, while limited to the confines of the room, is always free. Consumable materials are generally free to use as well, within reasonable amounts. Before using any Maker Hub resources, please review the rules and policies.
