Equipment Booking

The UNSW Canberra Makerspace Equipment Booking System provides a simple and efficient way for students, staff, researchers and external partners to reserve access to Makerspace equipment and facilities. The system ensures fair and organised usage of shared resources while supporting a wide range of academic, research and innovation activities.
