Facilities and Amenities

The TechShop facility in Menlo Park, California is designed to put a full range of tools and equipment at your command so you can work on your projects without worrying about how you are going to tackle each step.  Need to punch a hole in sheet metal?  Use the large rotary punch.  Need to spot weld an enclosure?  The spot welder is in the welding room.  Need to cut a keyway in a gear bore?  The broach sets are in the tool cabinet.  Everything is here for your use.

Of course, most people have never used most of the tools and equipment that TechShop has available.  So of course, TechShop offers training on every piece of equipment in the facility.  The wide range of classes lets you learn how to use the tools and equipment as you need them.

Located at 120 Independence Drive in Menlo Park, California, just off Highway 101 near Marsh Road, the climate-controlled TechShop facility features a 15,200 square foot floor plan including classroom and workshop space, a creative brainstorming lounge called "The Hub", a retail store offering convenience materials and consumables, and a large lighted parking lot with space for 75 cars.
