Space to think. Tools to try.

01

Fabrication workshop

The workshop floor includes CNC fabrication equipment for cutting and shaping parts. It is the room for prototypes that have to become physical.

• Ask which materials the machine can take
• Bring a drawing, or book time to make one in the digital lab
• Confirm supervision and safety requirements

02

Electronics and hardware bench

Benches are set up for components, boards and small hardware builds. This is where a sensor, a controller or a campus research rig can be tried before it meets the field.

• Describe the circuit or product you want to test
• Ask what tools stay on the bench and what you should bring
• Pair the bench with a digital workstation if you are still designing

03

Digital learning lab

Rows of workstations support design, research and taught sessions. A second lab layout gives smaller teams a bench of machines for longer work.

• Say whether you need a taught session or independent time
• Ask which software is installed
• Book around teaching so a class is not interrupted

04

Collaboration and pitch rooms

Teaching rooms with large screens are used for classes, critiques, founder presentations and partner briefings. They are the public face of work that starts on a bench.

• Tell us the size of the group
• Ask about screen sharing and seating
• Combine a room booking with a short floor tour

05

Community lounge

Soft seating and a quieter room for conversations that do not need a machine. Teams use it between sessions, and visitors use it while they wait.

06

Creative and media corner

Part of the building is set up for documentation and informal creative work, including lighting and a small music corner. Useful when a prototype needs to be shown, not only built.

• Ask what can be booked for photography or recording
• Keep production work clear of active classes
