What is the Makerspace?

A space that:

• Provides access to a wide variety of tools and equipment for prototyping, as well as space for individuals and teams to create and share projects.
• Is community-centered and diverse; a social place for people with different skills and common interests to collaborate and learn from each other.
• Provides an open environment for innovation and creative expression.

What are the goals of the new Makerspace?

In cooperation with Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the Discovery Hall Makerspace has been reimagined and redesigned to facilitate the following goals:

• Improve power and ventilation infrastructure for existing equipment
• Support inter/cross disciplinary teams working on impactful projects of various duration with industry/community partners
• Allow for students engaged in projects for formal courses as well as those engaged in co-curricular experiences to co-exist seamlessly
• Ensure flexibility for changing initiatives
• Allow visibility of work being performed while being inviting and welcoming to students of all interest levels
• Promote ideation and collaboration over fabrication.
• Provide sufficient work space and equipment to support virtual and physical prototyping.
• Provide secure spaces for ongoing projects.
• Foster the space to be inviting and welcoming.
• Provide sponsor opportunities for career engagement for students.
• Prioritize space as a student space for the entire student population.

I thought it was called the Collaboratory?

While we did go primarily by “Collaboratory” for the past several years, we felt like it didn’t convey the true nature of the space and what work goes on in the space. As of Fall 2025, we will be referring to it as the more commonly used term “Makerspace” from now on.

Why is UW Bothell providing this Makerspace?

We are providing this space to encourage creativity, discovery, collaboration, and exploration.

Who can use the Makerspace?

All current students, faculty, and staff at UW, regardless of department or experience level. We do not service Cascadia College students at this time.

What activities go on in the Makerspace?

The Makerspace is designed to be very flexible. With most equipment and furniture on casters, the space is rapidly re-configurable to enable multiple and changing uses even within a single day. In addition to individual drop-in use, it will host a wide variety of maker-oriented workshops, safety training, and design/fabrication projects. In the future we hope to also host maker-oriented challenges and hackathons.

What if I just want to study in the space, am I welcome?

Absolutely! However, there will likely be some machine and group collaboration noise in the space, so it might not be the best location for quiet study. (Space Scout provides a great list of quiet spaces on campus).

I am a faculty member and want to include Makerspace activities in my class. What is possible?

There are many ways that the Makerspace can engage with your curricular activities. You can arrange to have your class visit the Makerspace during one of your class times by coordinating with the Makerspace manager. We can provide an overview of the facility and its capabilities. Additionally, students can work on their projects, capstones, etc. in the Makerspace and leverage its equipment and staff for their work.

For capacity issues we do have two restrictions, we are unable to book the Makerspace as the sole classroom for a course and we request that you do not specifically require students use the UW Bothell Makerspace equipment as the only method to complete their assignment. Beyond these two limitations, the sky is the limit. Please feel free to contact the Makerspace manager with any ideas that you would like to explore as part of your teaching.

Can I book the Makerspace for an event?

The Makerspace is designed to be a student first space on campus with the primary time allocation for drop in collaborative/creative work. Requests for hosting an event in the space will be considered on a case by case basis. Priority will be heavily biased to requests that feature the unique facilities of the spaces, student project work done in the space, and/or creative ideation work. You may request an event by filling out a FUAC form here.

How do I gain access and get started using the Makerspace equipment?

Stop by any time during the core drop-in hours and talk with a staff member or users of the space. To become a user, you need to be trained on general safely either 1-on-1 with a staff member or through a dedicated session. You must then sign the .

How much does it cost to use?

There are no user fees for use of any of the equipment in the space. We will have a limited amount of stock (PLA plastics, material for laser cutting, ink and paper supplies, etc.) for first-time users to learn and build knowledge with. After that initial set of learning experiences, as well as for larger and specific projects, users will be asked to provide their own materials.

We also want to encourage users to 鈥減ay it forward鈥� and contribute to the community with their time and talents 鈥� such as helping others by sharing knowledge and mentoring, helping to plan and execute events, helping in maintenance of the space, or helping with others鈥� projects.

Who owns what is developed in the UW Bothell Makerspace?

The Makerspace is intended as a community innovation space. Use of this space does not create any intellectual property obligations for the user. In other words, no new 鈥渟trings鈥� are added by use of the facility. See the for more details.

Are there other shops on campus?

The Makerspace is networked with many departmental shops across the campuses that have considerable fabrication capabilities. We aim to complement these shops with a flexible, multi-use space to foster a cross-disciplinary design and fabrication community, as well as providing entry-level workshops and events open to all, while connecting users to other campus shops when more specialized capabilities are required.

What is the bed size of the PLS 6.75 (the blue laser cutter)?

The bed size can handle cuts with the following dimensions:

• 32 (x) 18 (y) 9 (z) inches
• 812.8 (x) 457.2 (y) 228.6 (z) millimeters
