Since opening our doors in December 2022, we’ve welcomed hundreds of students and staff from across the University, hosting a variety of pop-up events and workshops and helping to transform a diverse range of individual student and society-led projects from ideas into reality. During this time, we’ve also collaborated with a number of high-profile partners, transforming the space into a hub for knowledge and skill share between our Makerspace community and experts across a variety of industries.
