ACCESS

Ease of access for CRU: No access for CRU (1)

Currently, non faculty members or students are not permitted to use the place without approval and are low priority.

CRU autonomy: Some freedom (2)

Made for…

The JCU innovation lab is mainly for engineering school faculty and students, then other JCU students. The innovation lab likes the idea of providing access to the community but does not have a booking system, policies, or procedures in place for the creative underground beyond the occasional ‘open day’. Even if the public could access the place, JCU jobs/projects would take priority.

Need to be a faculty member or student at James Cook University, or possibly through a university employee or student, or partner organisation.
