Eugene Makerspace 687 McKinley Street 1 Eugene OR 97402 November 20 2024 Hope on the wind EUGENE MAKERSPACE EMS is a 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on providing the Lane County area with tools and equipment for working with wood metal plastics and more. For over 10 years EMS has provided a collaborative and creative space away from home for artists and makers to meet up and collaborate on amazing projects. In the early hours of Sunday September 15 a fire ravaged our community workshop. The damage was extensive to our beloved makerspace and the fire heat and smoke damaged or destroyed most of our tools and materials Over the past two months as the ashes have settled weve had many ups and downs.
