Prototype Design Lab

SIGN IN STATION

MCC's Prototype Design Lab Is open to the public!

Current MCC credit students have free access to the lab
plus cost of materials.

Located at the Fort Omaha Campus' Center for Advanced and Emerging Technology in Building 24
5300 N. 30th St

The Prototype Design Lab is an open-access makerspace focused on developing prototypes from initial conceptualization to final fabrication; in other words, it's a place to just make cool stuff. 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, a plasma cutter and a vinyl cutter are among the many types of equipment available for use.

Whether you’re an artist, an engineer, an inventor, a business owner or just simply curious, the Prototype Design Lab can make your creative vision a reality. Technicians are available for assistance.

The Lab is open to the public by registering below, or by calling Central Registration at 531-MCC-2400
