Located in Jubel Hall, the Spartan Light Metal Products Makerspace is where Washington University students, faculty, and staff will bring innovative ideas to life and join together to develop ideas that will impact the community and the world.
We welcome both those who are new to making and experienced makers into a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment.
The makerspace is divided into two sections: the Studio Space and the Advanced Machine Shop.

Studio Space
Equipment access is available to all faculty, staff, and students who complete the online member orientation.

Advanced Machine Shop
Equipment access is restricted to individuals who have received advanced machinist training and approval from Dennis Tapella.

For all equipment, you should complete the associated training before coming in. Members can walk-in for general consultations, or to use hand tools, electronic bench and hand-held power tools. For advanced equipment (like the laser cutter, drill press, sewing machine or Bantam mini-mill), an appointment is required to use the equipment.
