The MEC does not loan out any equipment for long-term use. All loans are for 7 days only and must be returned to the Checkout area when due to be loaned out to other patrons. If you need a personal computing device longer than 7 days, we recommend you check out the Office of Surplus and Asset Management. Approximately EVERY MONTH, during PUBLIC SALE DATES, they usually have many PC desktops for around $35 and iMacs for around $100. They also often have mice and keyboards for very cheap. Visit their website for details on when the next public sale will be.

*Please Note: Our services are reserved for the CWU-affiliated community and, unfortunately, cannot take orders from the general public. If you are not affiliated with CWU, we highly recommend looking at Yakima's Maker Space for similar services. They are awesome!
