# Hours and Access

## Where we are

Waukesha Makerspace, 2111 S West Ave, Unit 58, Waukesha, WI 53189.

## The space is members only

WMI is **not open to the general public.** People who want to see the space can come to an open house or another public event; see [waukeshamakers.com](https://waukeshamakers.com) for dates and for how to join.

## Hours

- Members with a paid **Monthly or Annual** membership have **24/7 access**, except during special events or temporary closures set by the board.
- New members in their **introductory period** also have 24/7 access, through the mobile app.

Membership options and rates are on [waukeshamakers.com](https://waukeshamakers.com).

## Which door

- **Members use the rear door.**
- The **front door is only used during public events.**

## How you get in

- **Key fob:** issued to members on a paid Monthly or Annual membership. Test your fob before you leave orientation.
- **Mobile app:** members in the introductory period get in with the mobile app instead of a fob. After orientation you receive an activation email and have a limited window (currently 5 days) to activate your account.

<p class="callout warning">To be confirmed: whether members may still register their own compatible key fob, and which access app members install.</p>

## Keeping the building secure

- Never leave doors unlocked or propped open. Make sure the door is secure every time you enter or leave.
- Guests you bring are your responsibility; see **Guests, Family Members and Pets**.
- Members can find the procedure for opening and closing the shop in the **Member Access** book (sign-in required).

## If your access stops working

Access is paused if your membership lapses, after a 7-day grace period. Check your profile at waukeshamakers.com, or email info@waukeshamakers.com for help with access.

## Being considerate

The building has other business tenants. Keep music down on weekday business hours and respect quiet hours for our neighbors. See **Parking, Loading and Neighbors**.
