Makerspace
In compliance with safety measures set forth by VCU and the VDH, the makerspace and the video, audio and gaming studios are closed through the Fall semester. There are no reservations or scheduled orientations during this time. Please visit The Workshop's homepage for updates on what resources are, or will be, available.
Make use of materials, tools, and emerging technologies for hands-on exploration and participatory learning. Some equipment requires attending to become an authorized user, who may reserve makerspace equipment online. Most makerspace resources are available when The Workshop is open.
