What is the MakerSpace?
The UNCSA MakerSpace is a space where you can learn, work and explore new avenues of expression. The space is equipped with 3D printers, sewing machines, large format printers, and more.
The Makerspace is for UNCSA students. If UNCSA faculty or staff want to use the space, please contact librarymakerspace@uncsa.edu.
You’ll find the MakerSpace on the first floor of the UNCSA Library. Upon entering the building, go right and pass the elevators, go through the hallway with restrooms, and then take another right. Feel free to ask for directions at the Library Help Desk!
There is no cost to use the equipment, and most materials are provided for free, but some specialized materials may need to be purchased. Please book a General Visit with us to ask any questions about materials for your project.
Please review our reservation page for the up-to-date operating hours.
For first time users, please book a General Visit with us. Our facilitators will be more than happy to discuss your project with you.
If you already know what equipment you would like to use, go to our reservation page and click on one of the green slots next to your equipment. Your reservation will be confirmed by email.
Please make sure you complete your equipment waiver before your reservation start time.
Currently all printing must be completed during the regular operating hours of the MakerSpace. Any request for overnight printing must be discussed with our facilitators during your appointment.
