a place for all to tinker, craft, make, design, & learn
Next week on Tuesday 10/22 the Makerspace will CLOSE at 2:30PM – Thanks for your understanding.
The QC Makerspace is located in the Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library, Floor 1, Room 101.
Hours for the FALL ’19 semester are:
MONDAY 10AM-5PM
TUESDAY 10AM-4PM
WEDNESDAY 10AM-6PM
THURSDAY CLOSED
FRIDAY 10AM-6PM
We are closed on the weekends.
Inspired by “the maker movement,” our makerspace provides a place to learn new skills as well as a forum for sharing and exchanging ideas with others.
How It Works:
Request Orientation
Attend a “Safety Guide” Orientation session which grants you access to the makerspace.
Work in the Makerspace
Spend time in the makerspace exploring our resources and equipment.
“Make” New Things
Learn new skills, bring something novel into the world, and meet your peers along the way!
Now that you know “how it works” you can sign up for one of our “Safety Guide” Orientation sessions via our Calendar of Events.
Orientations are currently consolidated around “Free Hour” on Monday and Wednesday.
Additional appointments will be made available; check back routinely for flexible dates.
Dates are currently scheduled 2-3 weeks in advance pending staff availability.
