The Arch Reactor Space
A co-op workshop for techies, tinkerers, and free thinkers.
Welcome!
Our space is a private and secure work space where creativity and ingenuity may reach critical levels. This reaction chamber holds 2400 sq ft of space to share. Within our containment walls holds a lounge and media space; a fabrication corner with 3D printers, laser cutter and vinyl cutter all ready to bring ideas to the real world; an electronics lab with a soldering station; an assembly area with member storage where we gather to collaborate on our ideas; arcade game machines of endless entertainment; and a workshop fully equiped with all the tools that just don't fit in a one bedroom apartment. At the core of the space is the community, who are constantly working and improving on our space - with your help we can do even more!

8. Window Curtains - Darrel - Finished - Use new canvas fabric for energy saving curtains on north wall.
9. Fabrication station - Complete - 3D Printers, laser cutter, and vinyl cutter setup for ease of use and shared resourses.
10. Open/Closed Alert - Chris - Near Completed - Switch is in place for tweeting status of the space being opened or closed but deciding if/how it could email the group as well.
11. Security - Darrel/Deech - Additional cameras to add to the space interior. Looking into a coded lock to add to door key-entry.
