Frequently Asked Questions

Does I Have to Apply to Become a Member?

Yes. You may apply to join our community here. Once your application is approved, you’ll be invited to attend an orientation session to activate your membership.

Do I Automatically Get Access to Use the Labs/Shop?

Only members who have completed safety training are allowed in the Shop, where the labs and equipment are. Shop Safety Training occurs weekly, so members have opportunities to gain Shop access on an ongoing basis. Training is generally 30 minutes to 1 hour, and covers lab safety and how to use specific equipment.

Can I Have Visitors?

No. Shop members only have access to the Shop, which is off-limits to visitors. (unless they are on-site for a scheduled tour).

Are Materials Included?

Materials aren't included in membership, but we do have a convenient on-site materials store where members can purchase them. Our Shop staff can also guide members on the most cost-effective sources for any unique materials not on-site.

What if I Just Want a Place to Work for the Day?
We offer day passes for $35/day which provides access to a desk during operating hours. Purchasing a day pass gives you access to our co-working space but does not include access to labs.
