Fair Use Building and Research (FUBAR) Labs is New Jersey's oldest makerspace, established in 2009 in New Brunswick and now located in North Brunswick. We're a community-run, membership-based organization with no corporate affiliation — just dedicated volunteers who love making things.
Our founding principle is to promote technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, collaboration, and education. From combat robots to autonomous vehicles, from soldering workshops to AI study groups — if you can dream it, you can build it here.
Everything you need to go from idea to reality, all under one roof.
Get 24/7 access to the space, all equipment, free classes, and a community of makers.
