COVID-19 Update
The Makerspaces at William & Mary are pleased to offer a range of tools and state-of-the-art equipment in the Swem Makerspace for use by all current students, staff, and faculty. The makerspace is in room #139 next to the Learning Center on the main floor of Swem. The following equipment is available:
-
Range of 3D printers
-
Variety of 3D scanners
-
Vinyl cutter
-
Selection of stitching machines
-
Pin-back button making machine
Using the equipment is a fun, engaging, and creative experience. However, machines and successful projects do require a small amount of background knowledge for optimal performance. To ensure that our machines and patrons stay happy, W&M Libraries require that all patrons who wish to schedule time with our equipment agree to our common sense safety policies.
Training Sessions
Trainings are 1-on-1 via Zoom for Spring 2021. Visit the Makerspaces at William & Mary website and get started by clicking the Service Desk tab.
