The new Media and Maker Commons is now open!

Do you have an idea for a podcast? An assignment you want to make a video for? A concept for a 3D prototype?

Make your ideas come to life! Explore what you can create in the new SFU Library Media and Maker Commons (MMC). The MMC is a collaborative, hands-on learning makerspace located on the third floor of the W.A.C. Bennett Library in Burnaby.

Who is the makerspace for?

All SFU students, faculty, and staff are welcome to use the space.

What can you do in the makerspace?
