Construction Updates

Ground-Making

The first batch of cement has been poured! Poured just last week, these cement areas are footings for certain (heavier duty) walls in the space, as well as the mezzanine. The mezzanine above the computer lab will be one of the few second floor areas in the building – we want to keep things open as much as possible and take advantage of the Sawtooth’s amazing natural light.

 

And what’s that in the top right image? A brand-new electrical service panel? You bet. One step closer to electricity at the CMS!

Claremont MakerSpace Ground-Making Ceremony: We don’t really have any ground to break… but we surely have ground to make… so we held a Ground-Making Ceremony to officially kick off the construction phase of the project. The event was a blast and drew over 60 attendees, including Senator Maggie Hassan, representatives on behalf of Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Congresswoman Maggie Hassan, Claremont City Officials, donors, project advisors and local makers. All of these attendees have played key roles in getting the MakerSpace this far, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support!

You can read more about the Ground-Making Ceremony in this article, published in the Eagle Times: Making a Movement

 

Take a good look at that gravel floor – it won’t be like that for much longer. We’re getting closer and closer to installing the radiant heating and pouring the second batch of concrete (aka the new floor). Remember, the Pre-Opening discount will be reduced from 20% to 15% when the floor is poured, so make sure to sign up soon! Info and sign up: HERE

Also, the registration for our upcoming glass working class, Creating Fused Glass Birds, closes this Sunday! Have you ever wanted to learn how to work with kiln formed glass? Here’s your chance, and a perfect introduction to an awesome art form. Those who have signed up for Pre-Opening Membership will receive a discount on this workshop.

End Note: That beautiful light we were talking about…

 

Have a stellar weekend! Happy Makin!
