Maker Hub
Are you a member of the Georgetown University Main Campus community who needs somewhere to work with classmates or friends? If so, book a group study room in the Library.
Stop by the Gelardin New Media Center on or after October 29th to view a new exhibition of photos
In January 2020, the Library’s circulating media equipment will be moving from the Gelardin New Media Center to the third-floor Circulation Desk area. This consolidation of functions will allow the Library to better integrate services and will improve our users’ experience by enabling them to check out all Library items from a single circulation point on the entry level.
Everyone at the Library wishes you a restful Thanksgiving holiday. However, if you are on-campus before or after the holiday and need the Library, we will be here for you. The Lauinger Library will be open on November 27, 8:00 am – 8:00 pm. We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.
The Maker Hub is Georgetown's only makerspace open to all students, staff and faculty. We promote innovation and hands-on learning through workshops, curricular engagement, and one-on-one project mentorship.
Most of our tools are free to use, and our community of staff and volunteers are available during open hours to teach you how to use the equipment and turn hour ideas into reality.
Drop in to see what we have to offer. It's your Maker Hub!
