Upcycle Annex
The Upcycle Annex is a student-run repair cafe space. Although these cafes are a
fairly new concept that aim to fix throwaway culture, they have rapidly spread across
the world since originating in Amsterdam.
A repair café is a meeting place in which people repair household electrical and mechanical
devices, computers, bicycles, clothing, and more. They may be events, or - like the
Upcycle Annex - they may be a fixed location where tools and supplies are available
for individuals to use to fix broken goods, often with the help
of volunteers. Repair cafe objectives are to reduce waste, to teach and maintain repair
skills, and to strengthen community.
The Upcycle Annex has an assortment of tools, supplies, and reference books available
during open hours and workshops are organized throughout the year.
