Garage is the home base of TIW. The first place you should always go when coming to TIW is the Garage. Please make sure you sign in by making a reservation on the website after creating an account. Then a staff member can give you the resources you need to start your project-whatever it may be. When you walk into TIW from our Celebrated Entrance on EERC Floor 0.
