| The 5,000-square-foot wood and metal shop plays an integral role in student work,
supporting hands-on experimentation with materials and construction. It includes a
machining room, a model-making shop, bench room, metalworking area and assembly
spaces. Students have access to a wide variety of hand and power tools along with instruction and facilities for model-making, furniture making, industrial design and
aluminum foundry casting. The facility enables and encourages experimentation with
materials such as concrete, metal, and plastics, and allows for the creation of substantial
projects. Recent additions to the SCI-Arc shop include two 3D printers with printing lab, a 4' x 10' panel saw, a plasma
cutter and an improved covered exterior metal working lab. Though the facility is
primarily for student use, it is available to faculty and staff depending on availability.
