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.
