Project Storage Policies - South Workshop

Update 9/18/24 - As Per BOD Vote, South Workshop Project Storage is closed until further notice. Any non-approved projects will be purged.

USING STORAGE SHELVES

Fill out a Storage Card completely and legibly with good contact information (name and phone number) and date of storage. Select a slot, and fill it taking care not to present a hazard. Vacate your slot before 30 days expires.

  • You may only use one slot
  • You may NOT store any flammable or hazardous materials.
  • You must allow 3 days between each use of project storage - to allow others the opportunity to work on their projects. If you vacate your slot early, you must still wait the 3 days. 
  • By using project storage, you opt into automated texts and emails from the Dallas Makerspace for storage updates. 
  • Projects that have incorrect/missing contact information or lack a date will be considered in violation of storage policies and will become abandoned property.
  • Projects that protrude into the walkway and/or present a collision/tripping hazard will be considered in violation of storage policies and will become abandoned property. 

GENERAL WORKSHOP

Contact logistics prior to leaving any project on the general workshop floor or on tables for greater than 24 hours. Failing to do so will result in your materials becoming as abandoned property.

Any projects left to dry/cure MUST have name, date & time left, and contact information.

Any abandoned materials longer than 24 hours or unlabeled will be disposed of unless granted permission.

EXTENSIONS

Project extensions must be requested via email at [email protected].

Extensions will be granted on a case-by-base basis, at the discretion of the COO, only before the member project expires.  If the member is not in good standing, extensions will be automatically denied.

If the extension is approved, Logistics will leave a reminder on their project indicating the length of the extension.

Extensions cannot be renewed and projects that are not vacated after by the new removal end date will become abandoned property. 

REMOVALS

Projects that have exceeded the 30-day storage limit (or 24 hours for general workshop storage) will become abandoned property and now have ownership transferred to the Dallas Makerspace.

The Dallas Makerspace is free to dispose of or reuse these materials for its own internal usage.

PURGATORY

If space allows, projects may be relocated to "Purgatory", which is the window near the workshop entrance.  If any materials are located there, you must contact a director or officer to access it, which may take some time.

STORAGE BANS

Violations of storage rules, habitual exceeding of storage limits, etc. may result in a ban from storage, including project storage, personal storage bins, etc. Violations of storage bans will result in disciplinary actions.
