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.

Project storage is at a premium in the Maker Hub. Visit our Project Storage page to see what storage spaces are available. We do not have a lot of space to store projects. The blue rolling carts that live in the hub are designed for project transportation, not permanent project storage. When you are finished using these carts, please clear them off and return them where you found them. If, for some special reason, you need to use the cart continuously for a short time, mark the cart as "in use" with a note per the description above. This is useful if you want to run overnight tests or you are in the middle of an assembly. However, this is for short term use. Remember, BE PROFESSIONAL. Release the materials for others to use. There are project storage racks in the senior design hallway. If you want to store your project there, label your shelf/materials with your name, the date, and contact info. Do not swipe other people's labeled materials for your own project. Keep in mind that these storage racks are periodically cleaned out each summer, so please take your projects with you at the end of the spring semester or notify a Maker Hub employee if you want your project to stay over the summer.

Be aware that the Maker Hub undergoes a full RESET THE SPACE in the summer. All project storage areas are cleaned out.
