🔧 Design Lab Moved and is Open for Business!
Got a class project? Need a space for a group project? The Design Lab is your go-to spot! The design lab is in the new building (ERIC 111). We're open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. I've posted a detailed schedule in the lab so you can see when our student lab workers are available to help you. Training is required before using any equipment, and all gear must stay in the lab.
So, what’s inside the Design Lab?
It’s an engineering wonderland where you can bring your ideas to life! Here’s what we have for you:
• 6 Workbenches equipped with soldering tools, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and breadboards.
• 2 Toolboxes packed with essential tools—drills, hammers, pliers, you name it.
• 2 Laser Cutters/Etchers (currently offline as we work out ventilation).
• 1 Large Format Printer—able to print up to 11x17.
• 10 Project Lockers w/Locks (available for semester-long checkout).
Please note: The Design Lab is still in the process of moving in, so not all features are available at this time. We'll keep you updated as more resources come online!
