Шаблон:Infobox museum Do Space is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community center for technology, digital library, education, and small makerspace featuring 3D printing technology in Omaha, Nebraska.[1][2]
History
Do Space opened in the fall of 2015. Do Space is managed by the non-profit Community Information Trust, which itself is managed by local Omaha philanthropic organization, Heritage Services.[3][4]
It is located at the southwest corner of 72nd and Dodge Streets in what was a former Borders Books.[5][6] The building, which was vacant, required retrofitting and modernization of the existing structure.[7] The project, which dates back to 2014, has included $4.1 million for the purchase of the vacant building[8] and $7 million to renovate and fill the space.[9] The design of the building was done by HDR, Inc. Do Space partners with various organizations, including Metropolitan Community College and Omaha Public Library.[10]
Services
Patrons can use Apple, Windows, and Ubuntu computers that have office, CAD and graphics programs and can access Omaha Public Library databases while at Do Space.[11] Do Space also has tablets and laptops for use, as well a 3D lab that has 3D printers, 3D scanners, and a laser cutter. There are large-format printers as well as break-out rooms with touch screen bulletin boards.[12]
Do Space provides its services free to the public, except for expendables like printing and 3D materials.[1] There are dedicated spaces for small children, teens, as well as adults.[13] There is a group specifically geared towards seniors that incorporates peer-style information-sharing.[14] Metropolitan Community College holds classes on the second floor.[9] Do Space provides a meeting space to nurture an innovation incubator and various community tech groups meet there.[12]
Leadership
In February 2015, Rebecca Stavick, co-founder of the civic hacking group Open Nebraska and former Omaha Public Library employee,[15] was hired as the executive director of Do Space.[16] Michael Sauers, formerly with the Nebraska Library Commission, is the Director of Technology.[17]
