The makerspace at Lawrence University provides access to hands-on tools and innovative equipment for the Lawrence University community to enhance the creativity of their academic work.
Using the Makerspace
- First: Watch the initial training videos, as well as the training videos for the piece of equipment you’d like to use, that are available on the Makerspace Guide.

- To have your access renewed from a previous school year, complete the Makerspace Access Reinstatement Form.

After training has been completed, students need to reserve time with the makerspace equipment when they wish to use it.
