The Area 49 Makerspace is located on the second floor of Atkins Library. The Makerspace is a place for creation, discovery, and experimentation. Whether you see yourself as a maker or as someone who is just curious about what happens in the space, you are welcome to enter and try it out.
Everyone will use the space differently. Some may work independently, and others with collaborative groups. Some may work with paper and glue and others with computer-aided design or circuitry. No matter the medium, all types of making are valued here.
If you are an instructor looking to incorporate making into your classes, contact us to get started. You don’t have to have an idea formed, since we can brainstorm together to decide what is right for your class.
