Read this Before Booking!
Bookings include access to the machines and necessary materials only. While staff are generally available for quick questions and assisting with machine setup, they will not be available to walk you through the design process. Therefore, you must complete your designs before arriving for your booking. Machine bookings are held for fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled start time. After this period, the booking is no longer guaranteed and machine availability will be determined at the discretion of HackLAB staff.
Starting June 16, 2026, you must use your own Library card to book the HackLAB. Stations can be booked for one hour per day. Your booking time includes your setup and cleanup time, so make sure you arrive on time, and budget your time so that the station is ready for the next booking when your time ends. If your project is not completed by the end of your booking, you can make another booking to complete your project at a later date.
