All efactory members receive a Mo State BearPass access card. These cards are used to access the facility, your workspace, conference rooms, phone rooms and the Business Suite. We will request an access card after the new member form is submitted.  

Once the request is submitted, it will take 3-5 business days for access cards to come in. Members will receive an email when their access card is ready for pick up.

We provide coffee from The Coffee Ethic for all members. Coffee is located in air pots in the Business Suite and in the Brick City kitchen.  

Our team does our best to keep the air pots full, but you are more than welcome to make it if you notice a need. The coffee maker and instructions are in the kitchen at both locations.

Please help us keep these spaces clean: including counters, sinks and microwaves. Labels are provided for members to label any/all items placed in a refrigerator. Any unlabeled items are considered fair game for anyone to have, and any items left overnight are thrown away!
