Make an Appointment with MakeCentral: Makerspace
The Makerspace is dedicated to providing access to its technologies to all patrons.
In an effort to protect our patrons during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have limited hours for patrons to use our MakeStation self-service equipment by appointment only. These stations include all button makers, Cricut Maker, soldering iron, and self-service 3D printer. The Makerspace will not have walk-in hours during the Spring 2021 semester.
Appointments are required to use the Makerspace and must be placed at least one (1) day in advance.
COVID-19 Precautions: Everyone on MSU property must wear a mask that covers the persons mouth and nose. On the day of the appointment, each person must complete the health screening form before arriving on campus. If you are not affiliated with MSU, complete the “Visitor” form and choose “LIBRARIES” as the sponsoring department.
