The Garage
The Garage is UWG's premier makerspace.
We are an open, collaborative studio designed for prototyping and creative exploration. Grounded in design thinking, we provide a supportive environment where students, faculty, staff, and community members transform abstract ideas into tangible solutions. The Garage serves as a multidisciplinary hub for hands-on innovation and community-centered design.
