The renovations on the second floor are expected to finish in December 2025.
During December, Creative Studio equipment is available first-come, first-served during our Open Labs. Open Labs will be on the 1st floor during the first week of December. Tentatively, Open Labs will be moved to the 2nd floor during the week of December 8.
The Sound Studio's iMac with Adobe Creative Cloud and digitizing equpiment are available by reservation in the temporary computer lab on the 2nd floor.
We will be busy early 2026 installing new equipment and training staff. We will provide re-opening dates for the new makerspace and digital media lab as soon as they are available. Read more about our renovation and projected timeline.
