The Maker Hub is an educational space. Our primary charter is to facilitate learning and creativity among the Maker Hub's users for both academic and personal projects. Fundamentally, the Maker Hub is not a job shop or a mass-production facility. We do not make things for outside requesters. Rather, we invite the requesters to come and train on the equipment and learn how to make the thing they are requesting. Therefore, we remain faithful to our original goal: education. As Maker Hub staff, some of the best parts of our job is watching both students and GFU employees feel the accomplishment of learning new skills and building something for themselves. We don't want to rob anyone of the accomplishment and joy of making something for themselves.

If certain space within the Maker Hub is not listed here on this page, we are not intending that the space be used for project storage.

This also includes spaces like the blue rolling carts and workbenches in [[The Hub]] as described on the [[Getting Started#The Hub|Getting Started]] page. Of course, we allow for temporary situations like letting a welding project cool on the [[Welding Shop]] table, letting the paint dry on a project in the [[Finishing Room]], or allowing glue to set for 24 hours on a project in the [[Wood Shop]]. If you have a large or unwieldy project that cannot be easily moved, talk to the Maker Hub staff about storage accommodations.

Be aware that the Maker Hub undergoes a full RESET THE SPACE in the summer (and often during Christmas break). All project storage areas are cleaned out. Please do not leave projects or half-completed projects around at the end of the semester. They might be thrown away. Talk with the Maker Hub staff if you think you have a really good reason to store projects/materials in the Maker Hub over the summer.

The Maker Hub resources exist to help ''you'' design and build ''your'' own projects. We train and equip the users to do the work. We won't "do the work" for you (again, education being our primary goal).

With all that said, the Maker Hub staff is happy to support you and offer guidance as you build your project. We realize that not everyone has the same aptitudes for designing and creating things. This, however, is not an excuse for a lack of the requester's participation in the all phases of the project (should we decide to use the Maker Hub for your project). Full participation is expected from project requesters.

Yes, training on Maker Hub equipment takes time. Learning new skills takes time. Designing and building a project always takes more time and effort than you originally estimate. It's the age-old problem that plagues almost every construction project or R&D endeavor.

What are some alternative options? You might be able to delegate your project to a willing student who is certified on the equipment you need or is willing to learn it. It could be one of your work study students. Whether students make it or anyone else makes your project, keep in mind that sometimes the resultant product can vary greatly in quality.

The other option is to order what you are looking for through an outside company. This is by far the most convenient and best quality option, but of course, the cost can sometimes be prohibitive. If we have determined that the Maker Hub resources and staff can't support the requested project, we often direct folks to find a third party vendor.

Where am I supposed to store projects in the Maker Hub??? You have come to the right place.

General Notes On Project Storage

The Maker Hub's Project Storage policy proceeds from all three of the guiding principles: SAFETY FIRST, RESET THE SPACE, and BE PROFESSIONAL. You might be surprised that every conceivable flat surface in the Maker Hub is NOT a place to store your items. Sarcasm aside, the Maker Hub functions more safely, efficiently, and successfully when projects are stored in the proper locations.

If certain space within the Maker Hub is not listed here on this page, we are not intending that the space be used for project storage. This would include spaces like the Wood Shop, the Machine Shop, and The Vault. These spaces are not set up for project storage. This also includes spaces like the blue rolling carts and workbenches in The Hub as described on the Getting Started page. Of course, we allow for temporary situations like letting a welding project cool on the Welding Shop table, letting the paint dry on a project in the Finishing Room, or allowing glue to set for 24 hours on a project in the Wood Shop. If you have a large or unwieldy project that cannot be easily moved, talk to the Maker Hub staff about storage accommodations. If a project needs to be left out overnight or for some extended period of time, again, talk to the Maker Hub staff and leave a note with your name, the date, and contact info.

Be aware that the Maker Hub undergoes a full RESET THE SPACE in the summer (and often during Christmas break). All project storage areas are cleaned out. Please do not leave projects or half-completed projects around at the end of the semester. They might be thrown away. Talk with the Maker Hub staff if you think you have a really good reason to store projects/materials in the Maker Hub over the summer.

Computer Lab Storage Lockers -- There are 72 lockers available. Each one is X deep by Y wide by Z tall. You may provide your own lock if you desire to secure your items. If you leave your locker locked past the end of the spring semester, the Maker Hub staff will break your lock during our summer RESET THE SPACE. Please do not store items on top of the lockers.
