"the more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild."

It is our hope and expectation that you and other students will be able to run wild and create many wonderful things in this space. These “commandments” are intended to provide that space - and the expectation is that everyone will abide by them. But, as we know, not everyone chooses to do so (1 Tim 1:9-10). We have seen various ways that different schools address these violations, and most use expulsion from the space as the primary penalty. Our penalty system is purposely vague to allow us to handle violations on a case-by-case basis. Some violations (not putting a chair back after moving it) might be comparatively minor, while others are extremely severe. An example of an extremely severe violation would be unauthorized usage of machines in the machine shop or wood shop, or even authorized use of a machine without anyone else present. These violations would most likely result in immediate suspension from accessing the Maker Hub. Let's just not go there, please.

An example of an extremely severe violation would be unauthorized usage of equipment in the machine shop or wood shop, or even authorized usage of a machine shop/wood shop machine without anyone else present.

Ok, moving onward. You might have noticed that the Maker hub is access-controlled. For students, your standard entry and exit point for the Maker Hub will be the main doors (see the map below). Please do not use the senior design doors, the loading dock doors, or any of the emergency exit doors (unless, for example, there is an emergency or you are receiving a large shipment on the loading dock). During weekday afternoons and early evenings,  the doors are normally closed, and we are asking you to keep them that way. It is a serious liability concern for the Maker Hub and the university if people are using the space without undergoing the proper safety training. If you're unsure if the people walking behind you have access to the Maker Hub, please don't hold the doors open for them. Or ask... introduce yourself and make new friends. Everyone in the space should understand the three commandments and will be expected to adhere to these principles.
