Reservations
Reservations are required for all spaces and equipment. If a member does not show or alert us to a late arrival a 10-minute grace period is given before reservation is cancelled. A late arrival does not extend the reservation slot.
Prior reservations receive preference, but walk-in reservations are accepted if the machine is available and the schedule allows.
Members may only reserve one machine at a time unless there is a need for a multi-step process (e.g. a member may reserve a vinyl cutter and a heat press at the same time).
