Our STORY

The Fab Lab opened October 2015 when the newly renovated west side of the library was unveiled. This fall we are opening an expanded lab space to support the increased demand that we've seen in the past four years.  Since day one, the library has funded everything for the lab, including equipment and material, so students can use the lab for FREE. The four printers we currently have are getting old and need to be replaced. They have seen a total of 20,000 hours of printing time.   

Two new 3D printers will help us in the following ways:

• We will have backup printers when our older printers break down and need repairs.
• Students will not have to wait as long to start their print jobs during peak times since we'll have more printers.
• We can keep the lab FREE for students.  

where Will the money go?

• Equipment: Two 3D printers 
• Materials: If we raise funds above and beyond our target, we will put the money toward filament for the  printers.
