What is Hive13?

Hive13 was formed to provide a Hackerspace for the Cincinnati area, and we encompass many interests – computing, mechanics, artistry, chemistry, brewing, complex biochemistry, among many others. Our intention is to provide an open framework for hackers of all stripes to exchange ideas, skills, and information, learning from each other as well as teaching. As our space has become more diverse in making, we have adopted the makerspace label as well.

Check out our space from our latest fly-through:

What is a Hackerspace?

From Wikipedia: A hackerspace is a place where people with common interests, usually in science, technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialise and collaborate. A hackerspace can be viewed as an open community lab, workbench, machine shop, workshop and/or studio where people of diverse backgrounds can come together to share resources and knowledge to build/make things.

Where is Hive13?

Hive13 is located at 2701 Spring Grove Avenue in the 2701SG Building in the Camp Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati. (Find Us)  We have approximately 11,500 square feet of space including wide open project space, fiber arts, hot crafts, welding shop, wood shop, and so much more.

Where do I park?

Our building, 2701SG has its own generous parking lot! There is limited parking along Spring Grove.

Accessibility Considerations

Hive13 is located on the third floor of 2701SG accessed primarily by stairs. We have access to freight elevators and the loading bay for rolling up to the space. Our space is often in use and can become loud with occasional flashing lights. Please email leadership if you have any concerns or needs when visiting the space.
