Butte College Create Space
In May of 2017, Butte College applied to state of California $17 million CCCMaker grant with a proposal seeking $700 thousand. After pitching our project and ideas along with dozens of other California community colleges, Butte was given a grant of $500 thousand to begin developing a makerspace. We received the first $250 thousand in August of 2017, and began the buildout of our Create Space located on the main Butte Campus, in the Art building. In August of 2018, we received the second $250 thousand, as our Create Space opened to students who began signing up to use the Space.
Our Create Space is now a dynamic indoor and outdoor makerspace, offering direct-to-garment t-shirt printing, banner and sticker printing with our 55” Roland printer, softcover and hardcover book binding, 3D printing with resin, PLA, and ceramic printers, sewing, a 60 watt 18”x24” laser, a glow forge laser, 44” sublimation printing, a jewelry zone, a 4’x8’ CNC ShopBot, and a virtual reality room with Microsoft Hololens, Oculus Rift, two Oculus Go sets, and an HTC Vive headset.
By January, the Space will have two CNC Mills, a 12” water jet cutter, a 4’x4’ metal CNC plasma cutter, twenty additional Oculus Go headsets, a commercial embroidery machine, a second Epson DTG t-shirt printer, a third 28”x30” 150 watt laser cutter, and a robotics and mechatronics zone.
By June of 2019, our Create Space will have equipment that will allow students to create just about anything they can imagine. We will also begin opening the Create Space for community members during the Spring 2019 semester. For a tour or more information, contact Daniel Donnelly: [email protected]
