By now, you’ve probably heard the news… The Brickyard Collaborative, the first fully equipped Makerspace on the North Shore, finally has a home!
We’ll be able to start moving in on Feb 1st, and we’re going to start having workshops and making stuff available to members almost immediately. We’ve also got our Membership page together on the site, you can find that here: Membership
Of course, this is all still a work in progress, but here are some of the details:
What do we have?
We have a complete wood shop, metal shop, photography studio (film and digital), video and sound editing studio, automotive, motorcycle and bicycle repair shop, electronics and robotics lab, with growing facilities for rapid prototyping, printmaking, finishing, and biotech hacking, along with complete co-working facilities. For the full list, updated frequently, see this page: Makerspace/Coworking Space.
We also are hard at work putting together the list for the MassDEV Fit-Out Grant, and that will include more electronics tools, a laser cutter, letterpress equipment, a wide-format Epson printer… fun stuff!
We’ll be located in a clean, secure, ground-floor, light industrial and warehouse facility in West Lynn, on the banks of the Saugus River, with easy access to Route I95, and ground-floor garage door and loading dock access.
Check out the membership levels, and for a very limited time we’ll be offering a 20% discount across the board. Here’s that link again: Membership This is a chance to get in on the ground floor, and help put together the makerspace that you want to see.
If you’re ready to jump on board, or if you want more information, let’s talk. Shoot us an email, let’s set up a time we can get together and, after Feb 1, walk through the space and see what we’re putting together. As soon as possible we’ll be putting an Open House together with a regular schedule for meetings, tours and introductions.
Hang on… it’s going to be a great ride!
