Hours of Operation
Texas Inventionworks is usually open:
12:00 PM - 8:00 PM
MON - FRI
Our current hours are always posted outside the Texas Inventionworks space on the entrance door.
Hours of operation vary throughout the semester based on user demand and staff availability.
- For the first 2 week of the semester, we usually close to the public during the mornings to train new staff members on how to use machines.
- During the semester we are usually open from 12:00PM-8:00PM Monday-Friday.
- About 1 month before the end of semester we usually expand morning, evening, and weekend hours to accommodate for senior design projects.

Internal Questions
The fastest way to get in contact is obviously in person during opening hours.
However, the #urgent_questions slack page is where you can post general and semi-urgent questions about the space such as "where do we keep tweezers?" or "Why do y'all think this print failed?" etc.
