Located on the first floor of Rose and in the basement of Carrier, these makerspaces offer tools, supplies, and guidance for the JMU community to learn, tinker, craft, invent and discover.
We provide access to 3D printers, virtual reality systems, an electronics workbench, textile arts workstations, audio/video production systems, and light handicraft supplies, and hold regular workshops on how to work with all of these resources.
All of our services and supplies are available free-of-charge to all students, faculty and staff, for both academic and personal projects.
