List of TLP Equipment and Materials

Additional Information:

We also have an extensive library of books available (Excel), non-fiction including text books.
Our Technology Loan Program has really taken off, so we recommend that you email us to make sure what you need is in, instead of just stopping by.
Attendance at our StarLab and 3D Printer Workshops is required before those check outs can take place.
Please be advised that there may be a wait on some items, particularly the Starlab. We may also need the equipment returned by a specific date.
It is very helpful if we know the date and estimated time you plan to stop by, just to make sure someone will be available to assist you.

StarLab Information

You must have attended our StarLab workshop to be able to check this item out.
Please call or email us to schedule the dates for check out.
There is a $30 maintenance fee for the StarLab. You may mail a check, payable to "UNCW CESTEM", to 601 S. College Rd. Wilmington, NC 28403-5976.

TLP Parking Information

There are parking spaces available for our visitors in front of our office building with signs labeled "CAT".
We recommend that you write "CESTEM" on a sheet of paper and leave it in your windshield, so everyone will know that your car will only be there for a short time.
For more detail, please see our location on the Interactive Campus Map [enter "626 MacMillan" in the search bar].
