Details
Phoenix Forge, situated in downtown Phoenix, is the largest community makerspace in the Southwest, serving as a resource for students, faculty, and the public. The makerspace hosts classes, workshops, and events, and provides the community access to equipment, tools, software, and training to learn new skills alongside other like-minded individuals. This project involved a transformative renovation of a historic 3-bay masonry, concrete, and wood building to accommodate the new workshop and collaboration spaces.
