For all affiliates of CED, attendance at a safety orientation and demonstration is required before using the shop for the first time. More information and a schedule of these sessions is included under "Orientations," below. Page Links Normal shop hours for Fall 2009 are:
A lab fee, which is currently $90 for each semester or summer session, is due at the time of registration for an orientation session. The Architecture Shop staff has no involvement with the establishment of fee rates, the collection of fee payments, or with requests for fee waivers. The Architecture Shop can accept only the Cal 1 ID/access/debit card in payment of fees. For instructions on obtaining the card and funding your debit account, please visit the Cal 1 card website. If you have already attended an orientation session prior to the current semester, your ID card will be validated for shop access by the Architecture Shop upon payment of lab fees and completion of a waiver of liability for the current semester or session. Any validation tag issued before Fall 2009 is now void. To register for an orientation, you must come to the shop. Please note that even if you will be attending an orientation as a scheduled part of a studio course, you still must pre-register individually. Orientations are subject to cancellation in the event of insufficient advance enrollment. Other sessions may be added if all of the sessions scheduled below are filled; each session can accommodate 24 students. Scheduled Orientation Sessions
Please be certain to arrive on time for your orientation. At the discretion of the individual presenter, late arrivals may be refused entry; no refunds will be issued in this circumstance. Early departure from an orientation will disqualify you from receiving an ID validation tag for shop access, which will be issued only at the end of each session. These are participatory presentations, so dress accordingly. Room 277A has been partially reconfigured to permit a limited amount of storage for registered shop users. This area is intended only for new materials (e.g., lumber and panels) that have just been delivered to Wurster Hall prior to being worked. There is a 7-day limit on storage in this space. All materials must be identified with the owners name, course number, section, and date; any item not bearing this information is subject to removal and discard. There is insufficient storage space for cut materials, scraps, or projects in process; these items must be removed from the shop each day. All materials left in the shop at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 12, will be forfeit. A limited number of lockers in the corridor outside the shop are available; to claim one, install a lock and complete the registration form and submit it to the Architecture Shop. |

Located in 277 Wurster Hall, the Architecture Shop primarily serves as a fabrication facility for students enrolled in courses requiring the modeling or execution of three-dimensional designs. It is also available to all students, faculty, and staff of CED for other, including extra-curricular, projects, when traffic permits.
