Using the Makerspace

• Reservations can only be made by people who have signed waivers; groups must supply all the names of the individuals in their group so that they can be compared against a list of signed waivers.  
• Groups of more than 12 people must reserve two general use slots.  
• Reservations can be made from two weeks in advance up to the same day, depending on availability.  
• One reservation per day. 
• One slot for specific equipment and one general use slot can be reserved, but they must be concurrent.
• Users reserving the 3D printers or Glowforge must have already completed the certification process including doing a demonstration for staff. 
• Users must be aware that they are sharing the space and should minimize the amount of space they are using, keep volume to an acceptable level, and keep conversations appropriate to all ages.  
• All users must leave the lab at the end of their reservation with a possible 15-minute grace period for cleanup. Late entry does not grant time beyond the end of the reservation.  
• All users must clean up after themselves including, but not limited to, washing tools where appropriate, putting way tools that do not require washing, putting away any supplies used, throwing away trash, and wiping down tables.  
• While some machines may have longer buffer times in order for prints to finish before the next reservation, lab time should be limited to two hours from when you entered.  
• Failure to follow these rules will result in a discussion for the first offense; multiple offenses may result in revocation of reservation privileges.    

Reservations must go through the STEAM Librarian.
