Remove materials from studios and makerspace

This is an early reminder that all Jacobs Hall users must remove their materials from Jacobs Hall maker spaces and teaching studios by the end of the semester: Friday, May 12th at 7pm. It is important that our team has the opportunity to reset the space for our summer session activities, so we cannot allow for between-semester storage of materials or projects in any of our teaching or maker spaces.
