Common Policy Reminders
Building Access
Weekend, Maker, and Extended Hours members' building access ends at 9PM, therefore you must exit the building by then. If you are working on a large project, please begin your cleanup by 8:30PM. Bookable tools can only be booked until 8:30PM to give ample clean-up time.
Second Floor
No activities that create dust, fumes, or nuisance noise can be done on the second floor. This includes the use of impact drivers and loud power tools, which should only be used in the WoodLab or MetalLab. All sanding must be done in the sanding booth. All painting or staining that creates fumes must be done outside.
Short Term Storage
Please set up Short Term Storage if you need to leave anything in common spaces after building close, even if it's only for one night. Anything left outside of members' studios is subject to STS. See us at our Front Desk prior to the end of day to get this set up.
Full STS Policies listed here.
Food
Keep food in studios in sealed hard plastic or metal containers. Please label and date all food in fridge, otherwise it will be disposed of. Dispose food waste in the compost bin located in the freezer, or in the green bin in the West Loading Bay.
WoodLab Scrap Pile
Please note that the member scrap area by the West Loading Bay is for USEABLE scraps/offcuts only. Guidlines for useable pieces are posted on the shelf. If it is not a piece you'd be excited to fine in the scrap pile, consider that it may belong in wood recycle instead. Don't know where the bin is? Our Front Desk Staff are happy to show you.
Guest Policy
All guests must sign in when entering the buildng, including entering the side entrance. Guests must be escorted by the members they are with at all times. Non-members can visit MakerLabs up to 5 times a month per individual.
Guest Sign-In Form Can Be Found Here
If you are a guest of another Member in outside of your regular access, you must also sign-in.
24 Hour Member Policy
24 hour members must sign in non-24 hour members as guests when staying past 9PM. This ensures that we know who is in the building when no staff are present, and to maintain the safety and security of all our members. 24 hour members are also responsible for the final walk through and closing of the building.
If having members as guests after hours, please submit this form:
