[Imc-makerspace] Maker moving to town

[Stewart Dickson]

Also, the Illinois Fab Lab has a somewhat larger space.  They *might* 
have lockers available,
but I think not much more than that.  Being operated by the University, 
the Fab Lab is run a bit
differently from the MakerSpace, which is officially a Working Group of 
the Urbana-Champaign
Independent Media Center, a 501(c) non-profit.  -Stewart
