Makerspace
FGL’s makerspace serves as both a creative workshop and a teaching environment, providing library users with opportunities to engage with new tools, develop technical and creative skills, and experiment within a safe and supportive setting.
The makerspace is only available to FIMS graduate students. If you are not a FIMS graduate student but you need access to a makerspace, check out The Labs by London Public Library.
