Rochester Makerspace

A shared workshop for people who make things.

What is Rochester Makerspace?

We’re a member workshop with shared tools, shop space, and people who help each other finish real projects — from woodworking and digital fabrication to electronics and craft.

  • 24/7 access

    Members get key-fob access to the building around the clock, so you can work when your schedule allows.

  • Education and classes

    Learn new skills through member classes and intro courses that get you comfortable with shop areas and equipment.

  • A community of makers

    Work alongside people who make things too — share ideas, get help, and be part of a supportive maker community.
