I want to tour the Coco-op Facility, how do I do that?

On Tuesdays 7-8:30pm and Sundays 2-4pm, we have a staffed open house at the makerspace to give tours to prospective members, orientations, and answer questions. We hope to see you there!

Do you have project storage for members?

Actively used projects and materials may be left at Coco-Op on the upstairs shelves if labeled and dated with a Storage Pass tag. Please see the “Storage Tags” station for current regulations, as well as “Storage Passes” to label you items. Incorrectly stored items are subject to be moved to the “Impound” area in the shop loft. No storage allowed in the work areas!

How do I receive a shop orientation?

Safety Orientations can be found at our website https://www.cocoop.org/events or reach out to Shop Lead on Slack to schedule. Safety and Basic Use Orientations are always free. You can also drop by our staffed open house on Tuesdays 7-8:30pm and Sundays 2-4pm.'

When will my key fob be ready? How do I access the building

We are no longer using door codes and you must use a fob to enter the building. Access Fobs will be assigned in real time at the in person orientations. If you didn't get one during your first orientation, you'll need to come by again to the Tuesday or Sunday staffed hours. Prospective members should be sure to get a fob prior to paying the subscription, if they'd like to avoid paying while waiting for access. The access fobs automatically turn on and off based on our current paid subscribers list.

How often do you offer classes?

Thanks for your interest in our class offerings! We offer Ceramics 101 every few months - our current offerings are listed on our website and you can follow our EventBrite page here to get emails when new classes are posted.

Can I use the co-coop as an office / remote work space?

Our "co-working" space is relatively freeform - we do have open use tables and a community room, but there are not desks for rent or that can be saved. There is some noise from the woodshop and other studios, so it may not be ideal for video calls.

Are kids/minors allowed?

Our space is like a gym membership to a shop full of tools - the membership allows 24/7 access to work on your projects on your own, but we only have staff onsite a few hours a week. For this reason, we only allow people 18 years and older to have stand-alone memberships. Minors 16 years or older can be under a Household membership, and can use the Coco-op shop under the supervision of an adult.
