Workshop

The latest digital and analogue tools to support teaching and research through hands-on making.

Our school benefits from a purpose-built workshop building completed recently in 2018, and a further extension completed in 2020.

Our excellent bespoke facilities include: 

  • modelling and prototyping equipment
  • digital fabrication suite including 3D printers and laser cutters
  • a bio-fab lab for biotechnology work, one of the first in the world in our disciplines.
  • woodworking and hand tools 
  • bench space

Our skilled and helpful technicians are on hand to help, guiding you and ensuring your safety. All students receive a full induction before gaining access to the workshop and its facilities
