Members have access to the lab as co-working and collaboration space any time it is not booked, and the building is open to use. Membership also includes access to equipment that can be checked out for research projects for up to one week (168 hours). Additionally, members participate in our community by hosting and joining in on meetups and conversations and sharing their research and knowledge with the community through our knowledge base and other collaborative works.
