Teach, Learn, Build.

Unallocated Space is a 2,100 sq. ft. community center located in Millersville, MD. Our community shares a wide range of interests, from electronics to woodworking to cosplay. Our primary focus is technology and information security. Our members offer a steady stream of talks, classes, and workshops that are free of charge and open to the public. Our motto is: “Teach, Learn, Build.”

Mission

To foster creative and technical growth through open collaboration by providing tools and resources within the greater Baltimore-Washington Metro area.

Our Space

Unallocated Space is located at 1029 Benfield Blvd. Millersville, MD 21108. We are open to the public most weeknights and some weekends. Any time Unallocated Space is open, we are open to the public.

Our keyholding members volunteer to open the community center, so hours of operation vary. The status of Unallocated Space can be found on the Home page, or on our Slack and Discord channels. You can also check out the calendar for event times.

Unallocated Space has different areas, including a 25-person classroom and an open workshop with equipment available for use. Our shelves are filled with useful tools and hardware ranging from vintage to modern. We have a soldering bench, network gear, power tools, ham radio equipment, sewing machines, and 3D printers – all available for public use. Most of our gear comes to us from generous donations by our members and the public.

Parking

Free lot parking is available. We share the parking lot with other businesses and organizations. On days where events are taking place at other venues, parking may be limited. If there is no parking in the main lot, you can park on the grass along Benfield Blvd. Please be mindful of the accessible parking space directly in front of our doors.

Membership

The best part of Unallocated Space is our membership base. Our members range in age from just out of high school to well after retirement age. Some members have been hacking since before computers were a common household item. Some are brand new to the space and the concept. We welcome everyone who walks through our doors. There is no membership fee or dues.

Over the last 15 years Unallocated Space has built a dedicated membership base that helps sustain the organization. While dues are not required, they do keep the lights on. If you would like to donate, either one-time or on an ongoing basis, see the Membership page.

Leadership

As a 501(c)(3), Unallocated Space is required to have a Board of Directors. They handle legal, financial, and interpersonal concerns. The Board is elected by Unallocated Space’s keyholders, who are members entrusted with keys to the facility.
