Kitchen

Pikes Makerspace (PPM) provides a small kitchen area so all our makers can take a quick break, refuel, and rehydrate.

(It is not a commercial kitchen.)

In our Kitchen area you will also find First Aid supplies including an eye wash station.

PPM MEMBER USE

The area is for all our members to use without any additional required training (Level 1).

Always leave the space better than you found it.
