Kalamazoo Makerspace doubles as an affordable coworking space and hackerspace in Kalamazoo, MI.
Instead of a traditional corporate coworking brand, you get a community-run workshop with Wi‑Fi, desks, benches, and tools. Work on your laptop in a quiet area, or move to our noisier hackerspace zones when you want to solder, build, or prototype with friends.
Because Kalamazoo Makerspace is a nonprofit community workshop, our coworking-style access is extremely affordable. Membership options start around $5 per month, which gives you a place to work with free Wi‑Fi and access to a wider maker community.
Hours for coworking and hackerspace access at Kalamazoo Makerspace are managed centrally so this page always stays up to date.

If you need to visit outside of regular open hours—such as for a specific project, Dedicated bench rental setup, or Dedicated workspace rental discussion—reach out through our contact page so we can coordinate.
If you've only used traditional coworking spaces, a makerspace-style coworking model is a little different—but very flexible.
Both. We intentionally separate quiet coworking areas from noisy hackerspace build areas. If you need focus, you can work from the quiet side. When it’s time to solder, 3D print, or collaborate loudly, you can move to the more active zones.
Yes. Because we are a nonprofit and volunteer-driven, entry-level membership that includes coworking-style access can be as low as about $5 per month. Check the pricing page for current details and any additional options.
Dedicated bench rental refers to having a more permanent bench or desk area inside the makerspace where you can leave some tools or ongoing work, instead of clearing everything away each visit. Availability and details may change over time, so ask during your tour.
For small teams or long-running projects, we sometimes offer Dedicated workspace rental style arrangements inside the hackerspace. These are typically handled on a case-by-case basis depending on space, safety, and project needs.
Part of the appeal of a coworking hackerspace in Kalamazoo is that your laptop work and hands-on work can live in the same place. With the appropriate training and safety orientation, you can move from your desk to areas like the electronics lab, 3D printing lab, wood shop, or metal shop.
The best way to begin is to schedule a tour. You’ll see where people sit to work quietly, where the noisy shop activity happens, and what membership option makes sense for your coworking and hackerspace goals.
