Fabrication Shops
The fabrication facility in Rand Hall's first floor includes a fully equipped digital fabrication lab, wood shop, metal shop, and 24/7 work area. The digital fabrication center consists of a computer lab alongside a wide variety of digital tools including CNC machines, laser cutters, and 3D printers. The analog shops include table saws, band saws, sanders, welders, kilns, and much more.
After shop hours, there is a tool checkout center where students can check out drills, sanders, and many other small tools to use in the 6,000 square-foot work area, which is open 24 hours a day. Before using the shop all students attend a thorough training program where they learn how to safely use all the tools and machinery.
