Makerspace

The Makerspace at Corning Community College is a cross-disciplinary, creative, collaborative learning space where students, faculty, staff, and community members can develop their skills and transform their ideas into digital designs, prototypes, and final products using state-of-the-art equipment.

In keeping with the College’s Mission to “Empower Students and Elevate Our Community,” the Makerspace allows new and more contemporary methods to be taught and is a place for innovators and artists to create, interact, learn, inspire, and educate students for the growing workforce demand for manufacturing technology.

The Makerspace provides hands-on learning opportunities for students in the Mechatronics AAS, Electrical Technology AAS, Mechanical Technology AAS, Machine Tool Technology AAS, Engineering AS, and Digital Design AS programs, but is also open to students from all programs, as well as community members. The makerspace is currently open to CCC students, faculty and staff, and the public (reservations required).

Using the Makerspace

Before using the Makerspace for the first time, you will be required to sign a waiver form and go through a brief, free safety orientation for the Makerspace in general. Also, if it’s your first time using a specific piece of equipment, please allow some time for training on that equipment. For some equipment, it will be relatively quick, especially if you are already familiar with it, but the more complicated machines might take an hour or more for training.

For most of the equipment, there is an hourly fee that you will need to pay when you make your reservation. For some equipment, like the 3D printers and vinyl cutters, the cost is based on how much material you use, if you use our filament or vinyl. There is a small hourly fee if you bring your own material, and you can pay after you use the equipment. Important: we only accept credit or debit cards at this time, and cannot take cash or other forms of payment.
