MATERIAL STORAGE POLICY
FREE STORAGE - Open Areas within Shops
- Each shop at MakerspaceCT has limited and temporary free storage areas.
- These storage areas are intended for project(s) that you are actively working on, they are not intended for long term or permanent storage of materials or tools.
- Any time you store something, you must clearly mark it with your name and date.
- We consider temporary storage to be 30 days or less. In any case, it must be material for a project that you are actively working on.
- Any storage needs that you have beyond 30 days must be arranged with the shop manager, and may not be guaranteed.
- The scale and size of the material that you choose to store must be reasonable and manageable. MakerspaceCT is a shared community workspace, please be considerate of other members who also need to use storage. Please consult with the shop manager about storage for larger items.
- At no time should carts be used for storage.
- Keep stored items away from work areas and surfaces, including on machines.
- If you need to leave your material on a machine overnight, please notify a technician or shop manager. Please note that it’s not a given that you can leave a project on a machine overnight. If approved, you must return to finish your project at the start of the next working day.
- No hazardous, flammable or volatile substances may be stored at MakerspaceCT.
- Open area storage is “at your own risk.” We are not responsible for damaged, stolen or lost items.
