NEW makerspace BUILDING fun(d)!
Rockwall Makerspace is growing - and we need your help!
We're raising funds to build out a new, larger facility that will allow us to expand our workshops, classrooms, and community programs. This new space means more tools, more free training, and more opportunities for makers, artists, students, and entrepreneurs across Rockwall County.
Your donation will help us create a creative, hands-on environment where innovation, education, and community come together.
Every dollar brings us one step closer — thank you for supporting local making!
What's the plan?
- Over 6,000 square feet of classroom, workshop, and meeting space
- Dedicated areas for woodworking, metal fabrication, electronics, 3D printing, and laser cutting
- Computer lab for digital literacy and software instruction
- Multipurpose classrooms and art studios
- Break area, offices, and secure storage
- An outdoor work patio for ventilation-intensive projects
- Expanded parking and improved accessibility
What's the need?
Funding is needed to cover the costs of interior construction, electrical upgrades, HVAC improvements, fire safety systems, and the purchase of essential tools, furnishings, and instructional material.
Our current construction budget is $120,000.
