== Welcome to the Design and Build Lab's Knowledgebase! ==
[http://designandbuildlab.com/ The Design and Build Lab] - also known as DaBL - is a digital fabrication / rapid prototyping / experimentation facility located in the new Don Myers Technology and Innovation Building. Its purpose is to inspire and empower students, staff, and faculty to ''create things to solve problems''.
== How do I become a member? ==
Becoming a member is easy. There are only two steps:
