About Lilly
MakerLabs is Vancouver's largest makerspace. We provide the tools, space and know-how to allow anybody to create almost anything. MakerLabs (makerspace + fablab) was born out of a vision to create the best possible space for making. MakerLabs is made up of 42,000 square feet of workshops, studios and common areas. The communal working areas include: a wood shop, metal shop, CNC router table, laser cutters, sewing machines, and an electronics area. Each tool and work area has a corresponding safety and orientation class. A strong maker community has been cultivated at MakerLabs, where we exchange knowledge, help each other, and collaborate. MakerLabs has communal areas for working, hanging out, and cooking. We promote an open concept with our private studio spaces, so makers can be inspired by what is going on around them.
