Other Membership Types
We offer multi-member Corporate memberships. These allow multiple adults from a single business or non-profit organization access to the Creator Hub.
Those people can use the space just like any other standard membership, with the caveat that there is a cap on the number of employees that can visit the Creator Hub each day. This can be an economical way for a business to gain access to our space and equipment. It is also an excellent way to provide an economical reward to employees.
Like all members of the Fort Collins Creator Hub, Corporate members are required to abide by all of the policies and procedures covered during our new member orientation and as described in our membership handbook. Specifically, the tools, equipment and space needs to remain available for all members to enjoy. There are weekly time limits placed on our equipment, and only small prototyping runs are allowed.
We offer several plans, based on the maximum number of spots reserved for adult employees from a business or organization. Note that all of the plans are monthly subscription or yearly pre-pay only.
Plan | Reserved Memberships | Daily Maximum | Monthly Subscription cost | Yearly Pre-pay cost |
---|---|---|---|---|
Corporate-3 | 3 | 2 | $95 | $1000 |
Corporate-5 | 5 | 3 | $140 | $1500 |
Corporate-10 | 10 | 4 | $190 | $2000 |
Corporate-25 | 25 | 9 | $430 | $4600 |
Corporate-50 | 50 | 15 | $725 | $7800 |

Note: this requires pre-approval. Please contact us first before signing up.
These are like personal memberships but come with an allocated exclusive-use space. This is a membership that grants adults exclusive use of a space within our larger space at the Creator Hub. Think of “co-working”, but applied to a maker space. Provided your activities are compatible with other users in that space (e.g. don’t generate noxious dust, fumes or noise), you can do many different things in that space – perhaps put in a desk, make it a work area, keep specialized tools or store your projects. A Co-Creator membership includes a single individual membership.
This membership is perfect for:
- Startups and small businesses that need access to the tools and equipment available at the Creator Hub while at the same time needing a private space reserved exclusively for them.
- Artists and sculptors that need an industrial space due to the size or nature of their work – while, again, allowing access to the Creator Hub’s shared equipment.
- Serious hobbyists that want to have space for their specialized projects and equipment.
- Any maker that needs substantial in-space storage
- What tools and equipment in our shared space will you be using?
- How many hours a week would you be using the shared space for commercial purposes?
- What activities would you be doing in your Co-Creator space?
- Would you be willing to volunteer at our space?
- Are you OK with classes and other activities taking place in the same unit as the Co-Creator space?
We offer various plans that differ by area and minimum length of lease. The monthly rate is $2/sqft for a three-month lease and $1.75/sqft per month for a one-year lease.
Plan | Area | 3-month Lease per Month | Yearly Lease per Month |
---|---|---|---|
Co-Creator-64 | 8′ x 8′ | $128 | $112 |
Co-Creator-80 | 8′ x 10′ | $160 | $140 |
Co-Creator-100 | 10′ x 10′ | $200 | $175 |
When you sign up for a Co-Creator membership, we will work with you to find the best location within the Creator Hub that meets your needs as well as fitting in seamlessly with the rest of the space. Co-Creator memberships can be combined with additional individual or corporate memberships to allow multiple people to use the Co-Creator spaces.
You must be an adult. For more information and to apply for a Co-Creator membership, email us at info@fortcollinscreatorhub.org.
We offer a limited number of in-kind memberships to adults who volunteer as a docent a minimum of four hours each week. These are regular individual memberships that are paid with sweat equity instead of cash. In order for those memberships to remain in good standing, those members are required to volunteer as a docent four hours per week. If you have questions about this program, or are interested in signing up for an in-kind membership, or just want to volunteer, send email to volunteering@fortcollinscreatorhub.org.
