fiber expansion in Champaign-Urbana, May 29 @ 2pm

We're located in the basement room #16 of the Independent Media Center in
Urbana.

The space can be a little tricky to find but if you enter through the back
bike project door (near the radio tower on the south side of the building)
and take your first left, we're at the end of the hall. If the outside door
is locked just ring the makerspace doorbell or call (816) 287-1717.

Peace out,
~Gergana
