That means: No garbage, no dirty dishes, no cigarette butts, no left over food, and no mess from your project. By signing, you commit yourself to leaving EVERY space better than you found it, especially our common spaces(Bathrooms, Lobby, Kitchen etc.)..
2. The Generator is not held liable for the safety and condition of any items being stored on site. Staff reserve the right to remedy, in any way they see fit, anything stored in an improper or hazardous way. Unlabeled items left behind are considered abandoned property.

All members are required to complete our safety courses for each shop they will work in. If you don’t know how to use a tool safely, do NOT use it!
