Wall Usage

Given the level of activity on the ground level on a daily basis, the conditions of the walls cannot be guaranteed by MakerLabs prior to their use. We have some expectations for users to help prolong the longevity of the walls.

  • Exhibitors are responsible for positioning the walls to their anticipated arrangement themselves and must restore it back to the original position at the end of their exhibit.

  • Exhibitors are responsible for touching up/patching up the walls to their preferred condition at their own expense.

  • Out of courtesy to future users, users who make noticeably large sized holes/significant number of holes are requested to at the very least patch them up at the end of their use so it will be less work for the next user.

    • Users that damage the wall significantly however will be required to arrange the repairs of the wall at their own expense (whether that is repairing it themselves or paying a fee calculated based on the amount of damage).


Space Expectations

  • Users must keep their items within the perimeter of the gallery space.

  • It is recommended to bring in cones/poles to section off the gallery so no one cuts through the space while the exhibit is in place and/or other items are parked in/around the gallery.

  • The podiums/display stands in the gallery spaces are welcome for use by the exhibitors but must be tucked away when the exhibit ends.

  • Running celebratory opening/launch/departure events for the exhibit falls under our Event Booking policies and are subjected to the Event policies and associated fees.

  • It is recommended to post signage for when the Exhibit is in place, as well as when there will be curators/artists on site to meet with visitors/customers.

    • If opening the exhibit to the public, please ensure all visitors sign in at the front desk when they come by.


When not officially booked for events/exhibits, MakerLabs will utilize the gallery space however they deem necessary.
