Creativity Commons

This is a shared space for patrons & staff to create, collaborate, experiment, and learn together. To keep it safe, welcoming, and fun for everyone, we ask all makers to follow a few simple community guidelines. Be respectful, work safely, and help others succeed. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury and/or disciplinary action.

• All patrons who will use and/or operate Makerspace equipment must complete any applicable mandatory in-person training for each piece of equipment they plan to use.
• Appointments must be made by the person who will be using the Makerspace equipment. You may not make an appointment on behalf of another person.
• Only use equipment for which you have the appropriate training.
• Be respectful and aware of others in the space.
• Review all safety measures! Personal protective equipment (PPE) is available.
• Before beginning your project, take note of the location(s) of emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.
• No weapons allowed, nor may weapons be created with makerspace equipment or material.
• Use equipment only as intended. Do not bypass safety features or modify equipment.
• Clean up should begin 15 minutes before the end of your appointment. Tidy up after yourself, including returning tools, equipment, and supplies where they belong.
• When in doubt, ask staff! We are here to help.
