The [[Maker_Hub#Facilities|Facilities section on the Main Page]] shows a gallery of the different spaces that comprise the whole Maker Hub. See the map to the right for the layout of the Maker Hub. With the exception of the doors and the Senior Design Space, there are 11 labelled facilities on the map. We will discuss the dark blue areas and the yellow area - which are the hub, meeting rooms, and computer lab.

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).

For students, your standard entry and exit point for the Maker Hub will be the main doors. 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). This is intentional to funnel our user base through the turnstiles. As of the beginning of the spring semester 2023, the turnstiles next to the front desk are now live. This means that users will now use their GFU ID card at the turnstiles to swipe in on entry '''''and''''' swipe out when exiting the Maker Hub. Anyone who walks through without swiping will set off the alarm, and that would be '''sooo''' embarrassing.

A brief explanation of '''why'''... The turnstiles are part of the Maker Hub's data collection initiative. These data will show the collective usage of the Maker Hub and provide quantitative leverage for acquiring funding for new equipment and other developments in the space. We will also be able to analyze usage trends to better serve our current user base and inform our marketing efforts. Your compliance with this new policy benefits the Maker Hub and  creates more opportunities for us to develop the space. Just in case it needs to be stated explicitly: Proper turnstile usage will be expected of all Maker Hub users. Violators should expect consequences... but, we know none of you would be so flagrant. ;)

If you are giving a tour, you can ask someone working at the front desk to temporarily disable the turnstiles so that all of your tour guests won't set off the alarm. The front desk has a regular rotation of work study students that work during the afternoons and early evenings on weekdays. Feel free to ask them for assistance (or Katherine or Jennifer if they are working at the Maker Hub front desk).
