As many of you have no doubt heard we have been working tirelessly to secure a new building for Triple Cities Makerspace and we have exciting news: the long wait is over! As of this week we are now the proud owners of 362 State Street, Binghamton. We’re just North of Bennedum’s Locksmith, kitty corner to NYSEG, and conveniently located on the bus route. That being said the new space is not quite ready for public makering just yet. We’ve got some work ahead of us to get the space ready for its public opening in early May. So as of today, we are closing up shop at Baldwin Street and will not be hosting our usual public open house this Tuesday. We look forward to welcoming everyone in the coming month. We would also like to extend a big thank you to Spool MFG for graciously renting us space for the last few years and for all of their support while we were there.
