Makerspace • Coworking Space

 Fox.Build is a community of creative people and a place where they can express that creativity. Our members have a wide variety of backgrounds, interests, and skills. We are artists, engineers, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, programmers, and scientists who love to collaborate on projects.

Our large assortment of equipment and supplies helps members express their creativity—whether it is an invention, a hobby, a gift, or something “just because." Come make something, learn a new skill, pursue that new career, and make some new friends.

Member Projects

Whether writing code, carving wood, building machines, or solving a problem our members are all about creating. The collaborative energy and creative atmosphere foster the makers, inventors, hackers, and learners to continue, in whatever medium. Sawdust mixes with the digital in this space and beautiful things result. Stop by and see what everyone is working on, and bring your thing. We’d love to see it.
