Project Storage

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.
