Equipment Catalog

Welcome to the Creativity Lab equipment hire service. Our equipment is available, for free, to all active members of the University of York. You are able to borrow equipment for a maximum of up to one week.

This booking system is set up so that bookings must be made at least 3 days in advance, to ensure we can make arrangements for collecting your equipment. Any bookings less than three days in advance will show as not available in this system. 

Upcoming collection/return closures

Please note, collections and returns are not available on the following dates, due to staff availability:

• Every Friday. You will still be able to collect and return equipment Monday-Thursday between 10am and 4pm.
• all dates between and including Friday 25th July and Friday 1st August 2025, except for Wednesday 30th July
• all dates between and including Monday 8th September and Friday 12th September 2025

Please select the 'availability' button to reserve an item. When selecting dates, you are choosing a slot to collect and return the equipment from the Creativity Lab office (LFA/104). Please ensure you make a note of the collection and return times, as we will be expecting you at these exact times, and can't guarantee access to equipment if you arrive at another time of the day. On booking all equipment, please read and agree to our the terms and conditions. 

If you have any issues, please contact lib-creativitylab@york.ac.uk.
