A Makerspace before the term was invented, the Edgerton Center Student Project Lab (Room 4-409) is home to a community of students who meet to tinker, experiment, design, build, learn, and have fun while doing it.
Our space is staffed by amazing student mentors who are here to help you with your projects - from accessing and using tools to brainstorming solutions.
4-409 is open to all students during staffed and mentored hours, and 24/7 tap card access is available to anyone!
The space is designed to provide inspiration and promote inquiry, while encouraging community and collaboration. Students have access to tools and materials to support projects that involve combinations of mechanical, electronic, artistic, and musical elements.

If Edgerton Center staff are available, the door to 4-409 is often open weekdays too... we are happy to help you when we can! (Note that orientations are only available during student mentor hours.)
