Two girls stand in a makerspace with white cabinets and 3D printers. One girl looks at an item being 3D printed while the other holds a finished item and smiles.

This exciting hub for learning, innovation and creativity spans 2 floors of The Exchange. There’s a dedicated makerspace, a children’s area and spaces to read, work and study.
