Attendees gather for the grand opening of the new Makerspace in the lower level of Belk Library, Sept. 9, 2022.
Belk Library’s all-new Makerspace, a design lab featuring a variety of tools, resources and equipment for projects of any size or scope, had its grand opening Friday.
The Makerspace, located on the lower level of the library, is home to 3D printers, vinyl and laser cutters, sewing machines, die cuts, a heat press and more — all available to students and faculty.
Students were invited to attend an opening event at the Makerspace where they could interact with a number of stations and activities. These ranged from laser-cut checkers and giant Jenga to custom mug and tote bag printing. The open-door event was hosted by library officials and lasted from noon-5 p.m.
