The Labs of the School of Architecture have been developed over thirty years to advance specific research, design development, and personal projects by all qualified students, faculty and staff. The labs are an integral component of our teaching mission and afford qualified users access to the machines, tools, and assistance necessary to complete a vast array of work. We strive to create a flexible learning environment that encourages safety, material awareness, precision, creativity, and common sense.
Students wishing to use the facilities are required to complete a basic orientation, typically during first year or summer orientation for graduates. Hours of operation are posted on the entry door to each lab, and at least one employee is present during all operating hours. Working with machinery and tools is inherently dangerous and can pose personal injury and limited environmental risks. It is the responsibility of each and every user to familiarize themselves with all safety policies and procedures, as well as any individual limitations.
