The purpose of the Architecture Shop is to provide three-dimensional support to the instructional program of the Architecture Department. I wholeheartedly believe if you fabricate and manipulate wood, plastic, metal and concrete, you will become better designers and builders and you can do this in the Architecture Shop. |
Use of the shop can greatly enhance any three dimensional project. Therefore, the shop will be closed on Wednesdays to provide workshops in woodworking, metalworking, plastics and construction.
Location: 277 Wurster Hall

For your safety you MUST attend an
orientation and machine tool demonstration before you will be allowed to
use the shop. Orientations will be offered only during the second and
third weeks of the semester. Anyone who has previously had an orientation
does not need to take another as long as your name is still in the
computer in the card key office.
Sign up to reserve a space for one orientation session of your choice, pay
the non-refundable lab fee currently $80.00 per semester, at the time of
registration, the Card Key Office accepts only checks, payable to “U.C.
Regents”. Please note: if you fail to attend the session you select, or
cancel less than24 hours ahead, you will be required to register again for
another session, if space is available, and pay another registration fee
of $80.00.
