Take Metro! The closest MetroRail station is Columbia Heights (Green/Yellow Lines). You can check online to see the next train arriving there. The S1-2-4, H1, and H2-3-4 buses go right by our location.

Approach on the 16th St side of the building. Look for the red doors. We are on the third floor. Follow the signs to our space after signing in with the guard.

Article on Open Source Hardware in Wired Magazine

There's a great article today in Wired Magazine on the trend of "Open Source Hardware" and DIY custom fabrication. It mentions the hackerspace concept in particular.

At HacDC, we have a RepRap available for use (and volunteered hacked improvements), and our members and friends own a good selection of the fabrication tools mentioned in the article. Some of them are perfectly willing to take orders with enough lead-time. If you are interested in learning more about this general trend and participating, feel free to stop by HacDC whenever we are open!
