There is a 6,000 square foot central room known simply as "[[The Hub]]" which provides a large work area with benches and tools for general making activities.

<strong>Welcome to the George Fox University Maker Hub Wiki!</strong>

The Maker Hub is a makerspace open to all George Fox University members for innovating, designing, and creating. It is a 16,000 square foot space located in the [https://www.georgefox.edu/maps_locations/inter_map/campus-facilities/sub.html Klages Center] that comprises several [[Facilities|design areas]] including technical shops, a central tool room, a computer lab, meeting rooms, and general work spaces. The Maker Hub was designed as a creative space to facilitate learning, encourage entrepreneurship, and add value to the GFU student's educational experience. It's a collaborative community that is home to senior design and servant engineering teams, guest lectures and community events, design competitions, project exhibitions, and training classes. We also have fun on occasion.

The Maker Hub has a limited number of staff and student employees. It is largely run by student volunteers who are on hand to train you and help you utilize the space effectively. Our students are encouraged to "own" the space. In any public space, there has to be some set of rules that govern the activity in the space. Ideally, we would just use the clever “Rule 0: Don’t make me make a rule.” But, we felt it was better to come up with some overall guiding principles rather than a list of rules. Clearly, there are some obvious “rules” that get implied from these principles, but, we believe that if you embrace the principles, the rules will take care of themselves. These principles we like to call, the [[3 commandments]]: '''Safety First''', '''Reset the Space''', '''Be Professional'''. Please explore the [[3 commandments]] page for a deeper explanation.
