Facility & Tools

BE-49 : Club Hub

The Club Space is a collaborative assembly and co-working space for all associated clubs to meet, ideate and actively work on their projects.  Each team has their own assigned area as well as access to a handful of different machine offerings within the general shared space.  There are several side rooms dedicated to 3D printing, soldering and glue work that all approved clubs have access to – with plans to build out further machine offerings in the near future.

BE-51 : The Shop

“The Shop” in BE-51 is an open, student-facing lab with a wide array of different machine and hand tool capabilities.  All undergraduate students, regardless of major, have the ability to access this space after completing online and in-person safety certification via the Slugworks Canvas Course.  “The Shop” boasts a number of different making resources: ranging from sheet metal fabrication, to CNC machining, hand tools and much more.

Machine Resources
  • CNC Machining
  • Manual Machining
  • Sheet Metal Fabrication
  • Hand Tools
  • Laser Cutting

BE-53 : Creatorspace

Similar to “The Shop” the Creatorspace functions as an open, student-facing workshop space.  Built with the intention of fostering a creative and collaborative environment, the Creatorspace functions as an entry-level lab : meaning there is a lot less safety certification needed to gain access.  All undergraduate students are encouraged to actively participate in the space; regardless of major or technical ability.  The Creatorspace offers Open Lab Hours everyday from 12:00 PM – 9:00 PM, where students are encouraged to drop in at their leisure, gain access to the machine offerings and build whatever they can dream up!

BE-55 : The Classroom

Backing up directly into the “Creatorspace”, the classroom offers three televisions, countless rolling desks and ample space for both teaching and fabrication.  The Classroom houses several sections of First Year Design and Lead By Design, as well as all of the Slugworks Friday Workshops.  This space is intended to be used as a classroom and an assembly space, which is open for all students to meet up and collaborate as they see fit!
