ABOUT THE SPACE
The Art Fabrication Space provides tools and equipment to students which assist with almost every aspect of woodworking. The space is open to students currently enrolled in a School of Art, Art History & Design course. Only projects that are assignment-based or part of the class curriculum are allowed.
Before beginning to use the space, students must complete an orientation with the Fabrication Space Manager. While working in the space, the students must follow the Fabrication Space safety policies at all times. This includes but is not limited to, eye protection worn at all times, closed-toe shoes worn while in the space, dust masks when needed and ear projection when needed.
