Create | Craft | Code | Construct

ARC MakerSpace is a new inspirational environment supporting a broad spectrum of making activity. The space is equipped with a range of resources, including crafting kits, sewing machines, 3D printers, electronics stations and a laser cutter, intended to transform creative ideas into practical products. 

ARC MakerSpace will be available initially to the ARC resident community while processes for induction, training, access and fair use are developed and refined, ensuring safe and smooth operation. From early Summer 2025, the space will be made available for the wider University community to use. Day-to-day access will be complemented by a programme of events themed around different aspects of making and offered to both university and public groups.

ARC MakerSpace also gives a timely opportunity to build a dynamic new University Maker Community, even identifying colleagues who may wish to get involved in the running of the space. If you are interested in this, or just wish to be kept informed about the space, please complete the short registration survey below.
