WELCOME

The Maker Lab is a 7,000 square foot design and fabrication space on the campus of Abilene Christian University. Located in the Brown Library, the Maker Lab is open to all ACU students, faculty and staff, as well as our neighbors in Abilene and surrounding communities. Our ongoing mission is to provide tools, training, support, and inspiration while promoting creativity, innovation and design thinking through unique experiential learning opportunities.

During a typical semester, we document over 10,000 check-ins from people who use our space to design, tinker and make. For the remainder of this semester, however, we are closed out of an abundance of caution and a desire to promote the health and well-being of everyone in our community. This has forced us to stop hosting visitors who come to campus. For that, we are truly sorry. We hope you’ll understand.

We hope you’ll appreciate this video that we put together for admitted and prospective students. This should provide some details as to what the Maker Lab is and some insights into our community of makers. We want you to know that we sincerely miss the opportunity to show you our space in person, so please look us up the next time you are in Abilene. We’d love to meet you and show you around.
