ENVD Creative Labs Center (CLC)

CMCI Students are welcome to utilize the ENVD Creative Labs Center (CLC) fabrication services to produce projects.

• There is a fee associated with non-ENVD student use of the labs.
• It should be noted that ENVD student projects will take precedence over fabrication request from others however this should not entail significant delays most weeks.
• It is important that students review the YouTube videos for the lab they are requesting fabrication from.
• After that they should engage with CLC staff through the ENVD-CLC-DMC Team channels. Staff are happy to help students with the details of proper file submission and early engagement is key to a successful outcome.

ITLP (Formerly ITLL)

The Integrated Teaching & Learning Program (ITLP) is part of the College of Engineering & Applied Science. Students can take a variety of workshops spaning design and fabrication topics. Once trained on different tools and machines, students can gain access to tools and workspace for working on projects.

Off Campus

BLDG61: Boulder Library Makerspace

BLDG 61 is a free community workshop that provides maker education and technology to the public in a creative and inclusive environment. They are located nearby, just down the street from our studio. They offer a variety of free workshops and access to tools and knowledge within the larger Boulder community. I highly recommend becoming familiar with their space.
