We’ll be open until 5 PM on the last day of final exams, Friday, December 20, 2024.
Nolop is closed until June 17th.
BUT! Ready your parasols, degrease your flip-flops, and charge your transistor radios because summer is incipient! Instead of hurtling off toward Sadelmelik, it looks like the Sun is going to pull us around again, which means summer is coming!
Starting on June 17th, we’ll be open 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, plus a few evenings until 9 PM, but we still have to work out the details. We’ll probably be closed on Juneteenth and the 4th of July. This schedule will continue through Thursday, August 15th. We will then close again until classes start at 9 AM on September 3, 2024.
(I’ll update this post when we know the evening hours in more detail.)
Update on the evening hours: we’re open Monday evening until 9 PM.
In July and early August, we’ll be running engineering programs for high school students in the mornings and a couple of the afternoons. You’re welcome to stop by and see what’s going on, but it tends to be super busy, so you might have better luck in the afternoons and evenings.
The red zone will be closed during the summer; talk to Brandon if you really need to use a table saw for something.
Nolop is open for the fall semester. We strive to be open every day from 9 AM – 11 PM, but we close a little earlier on Friday and Saturday nights; more precise hours are posted on the Nolop hours page.
We will close for winter break on the last day of final exams, Thursday, December 21 at 5 PM.
That’s right, summer is here, enthusiasts! Break out your lemonade pitcher, your hammock, and your mass market paperbacks because the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun!
Nolop is closed until June 20th, but then we’ll be open 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, plus Mondays and Wednesdays until 9 PM. This schedule will continue through Friday, August 18th. We will then close again until 9 AM on September 5, 2023.
(edited to reflect closing at 5 PM on non-Monday-Wednesday weekdays)

We’ll reopen after winter break at 9 AM on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. After that, we should generally be open from 9 AM until 11 PM every day, but a little less on weekends.
Come on in and build some stuff!
As of August 19, Nolop has closed for the last two weeks of the summer so that Brandon can take a vacation. We will reopen at 9 AM on September 6, 2022. We aspire to be open roughly every day, 9 AM – 11 PM from then until some time in May, 2023.
Let’s go, everyone!
UPDATE: Nolop will be open 1-8 PM on weekdays, plus 6-8 PM on most Sundays from now until August 19. Nolop will be closed on July 2-4th. Go watch fireworks!Nolop will remain closed until 9 AM on Monday, June 27, 2022. We might open earlier; if that would be interesting to you, post something in the Nolop Slack.
Once we re-open in June, After July 5 or so, Nolop will be open at least most weekday afternoons and evenings until around August 19. We’ll then close for roughly two weeks, re-opening for the fall semester at 9 AM on September 6, 2022.
I’ll update this post as we sort out the details.
Nolop will be open 11 AM – 7 PM every day of spring break. Masks are still required.
So far, it’s pretty mellow. We’ve got some physicists building a radio telescope, a few robotics club projects (a Pacbot and a Battlebot), and some people who appear to be installing zippers into sneakers.
Come on by and join the fun!
Enthusiasts! The plan right now is that Nolop will open at 9 AM on January 24, 2022, for normal operation. Before January 24, we will be closed.
The regulations will be roughly the same as last semester:
These restrictions may be eased later in the semester, but for now, this is what we need to operate in-person.
In unrelated news, the laser cutter lens has been replaced; we are now at FULL POWER!
Enthusiasts!
Nolop will be open a little bit over Thanksgiving break.

Thanks to Adolfo, Spencer, and anyone else who ends up covering shifts while everybody else gorges themselves and then regrets it.
