Learn about 3D printing, water monitoring at Makerspace workshop
A Benicia Makerspace Workshop, led by Doug Snyder and Aaron Newcomb, will teach Benicia residents how to build a home sprinkler monitor that will work with 24Vac sprinkler valves that are commonly used in household irrigation systems.
Next month’s Makerspace workshop will introduce participants to 3D printing, a process that can produce automobile parts, art and, possibly, the first human organ for transplant later this year.
The workshop will take place from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 3 in the Benicia Community Center, 370 East L St., Those interested may email nicci@beniciamakerspace.com.
Study links wine, construction
Wine industry growth has inspired the resurgence of industrial building construction, a new Colliers International study from its Fairfield office — and covering Solano, Napa and parts of Contra Costa counties — has determined.
The study said 2013 was one of the strongest recent years in the industrial market, with sales activity rebounding in the fourth quarter, including four sales of 50,000 square feet or larger. This was up from just one sale of that size the previous quarter.
The report said fourth-quarter office sales were strong in Solano and Napa counties, as were investment sales, though leasing remained soft. Napa County’s purchase of the Dey Labs’ campus and two building projects by Buzz Oates in Fairfield that will be occupied by Encore Glass and Saxco International helped boost the recorded growth, the study said.
