About
What we do here at the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) Makerspace:
- We’re providing a space for UMass CICS students, faculty, and staff to experiment and create with access to tools, additive and subtractive fabrication machines, and material.
- Use the spaces described below for creation, experimentation, and making projects!

Conference Room
Behind the main classroom, separated by a glass wall with sliding door, is the conference room with monitor/TV, conference table, and a view of the Progress Bar coffee shop.
The far wall in the photos is floor-to-ceiling whiteboard for thinking great thoughts!
Lounge
The lounge offers couches, end tables, a rolling table, and a big TV. Plug in a retro game system and pretend to think about your next big project.
When you’re in the space you might be tempted to think that this room has a giant whiteboard; this room does NOT offer a whiteboard wall. The full-wall whiteboard is through the doorway to the left, leading to the conference room.
