MakerSpace for Staff

The MakerSpace

The MakerSpace is a space where staff and students can be creative, collaborate, share develop ideas, innovate, and generally just 'make stuff'. The space is available for staff and students to use at any time while the Library is open. You can book equipment available in advance or just drop in!

Request Workshops

Staff can use any of the tools and equipment available in the MakerSpace. You can also request workshops or incorporate the MakerSpace into your teaching through video or design projects.

Email Eileen Kennedy to enquire about building workshops into your curriculum. Potential workshop topics include:
