List of rooms and tools in each!
The space is split into four main sections, with another one on the way. With a plethora of tools and machines in each, it can be easy to lose track of what is where. This is a handy dandy guide to the lay of the Makerspace land. Note that many tools require either a tool specific induction or are covered by the general woodshop induction.
Clean Room
This Room is the main clean-working area in the space. We have space set-up for doing Electronics work, and a big table for whatever (clean) work you've got going on. It's our largest, cleanest and oldest space. Usually, this is where we would hold workshops or other events. Our Thursday Electronics group meets in here!This room is also home to the Social Seating Area, Washroom and Kitchen.
