Burlington's Generator project

Burlington City Arts, Burlington Parks and Recreation, the Burlington Community and Economic Development Office and the Generator Board of Directors are excited to announce the opening of Generator, Burlington's first Maker Space. Generator, located in the lower level of Memorial Auditorium on Main Street, is a combination of artist studio, classroom, and business incubator focused on the act of making things. Generator exists at the intersection of art, science and technology and as such creates a community of collaboration between artists, engineers, entrepreneurs and artisans. Working in partnership with Generator, the Champlain College MakerLab is set to open in late April as part of the Emergent Media Center's expansion at the Miller Center building on Lakeside Avenue. The Champlain MakerLab will give Champlain students, alumni and Generator members access to 3D printers and scanners — including the ProJet 4500, the most sophisticated 3D color printer available — laser cutters, computer-controlled milling machines, electronics and ;microcontrollers, along with a range of traditional fabrication tools.
