Equipment

Orientations

Orientations are available on a regular basis for all of our equipment. You need to attend a free equipment orientation before being able to use that equipment at the Innovation Center. These 30-60 minute orientations will provide the basic information needed to run the equipment safely and correctly. Pre-registration is required - no drop-ins. If no one registers, the orientation will be cancelled. Orientations are open to members and non-members.
